Brief Summary:
Letter signed from Antoine Honneste d’Adhémar de Monteil de Brunier, marquis d’Adhémar to Voltaire, written from Bayreuth and dated 5 March 1753, with several autograph corrections.
Detailed Summary:
D’Adhémar discusses the rift between Voltaire and Frederick II of Prussia, noting that great men have peculiarities, weaknesses, and sensitivities, but that if you love them there should also be forgetting. He notes that time should be given for them to realise the injustices done and offer an opportunity to undo them. He states that it was right to send the pension back. He concludes by discussing the Margravine who should travel to see her brother, Frederick, in Berlin if her health permits it.
