Brief Summary:
Autograph letter signed from Voltaire to Pierre de Taulès, chevalier de Taulès, written from Ferney and dated 4 April 1768.
Detailed Summary:
Voltaire writes that the Duc de Choiseuil was kind enough to send him the documents he needed, adding that he hardly needs anything anymore as the whole military and political history of Louis XIV is printed and that all that remains in Jansenism and Quietism, two topics he notes as being deserving of ridicule. He continues by saying that he wrote to the Duc de Choiseuil to ask him for two or three letters from an Italian man named Giori written from Rome to M. de Torsi in January/February 1699 against the Cardinal de Bouillon, his benefactor.
