A list of the contents of a folder in Voltaire’s hand. Amongst the items listed are Marquis D’Argenson on the Battle of Fontenoy, a ‘card de fleuri’, ‘St florentin etc.’, letters from Monsieur de Mainevas and Émilie du Châtelet, correspondences from a trip to Prussia, and a letter from the Queen of Sweden.
There are four small holes on the left-hand side of the manuscript suggesting that it was included in a bound collection at one time. The manuscript is written on low-quality paper, possibly rag paper.
