Brief Summary:

Claim for reimbursement by Voltaire on behalf of Rouph, written in the hand of Wagnière and dating to March 1776.

Detailed Summary:

The document claims that Rouph, the procureur du Roi in Gex, and father of ten children, purchased in 1767 the office of controller in the salt granary of Gex under the name of Duprez, who has since died. It states that he paid for this office and for the various associated taxes a sum of eight thousand seven hundred and eleven livres. He therefore hopes that the Controlleur Général will order that he be reimbursed by justifying his titles.
