Brief Summary:
Autograph letter from Jean Frédéric Phélypeaux, comte de Maurepas to Claude Henri Feydeau, comte de Marville, written from Versailles and dated 18 December 1742.
Detailed Summary:
Jean Frédéric Phélypeaux, comte de Maurepas writes that he is sending a letter that he has just received from Voltaire, which contains a matter about which Maurepas believes he should consult with Feydeau. He adds that Voltaire talks about libellous writings, noting that he knows enough of Voltaire’s sensitivity to criticism and his fear of pamphlets to suspect that these libels concern Voltaire more than any writer, and that Voltaire will want them suppressed. He asks Feydeau to return Voltaire’s letter to him.
