Brief Summary:
Autograph letter from Anne Antoinette Françoise de Champbonin [née Paulin] to Laurent-François Prault, written from Chambonin and dated 1 November.
Detailed Summary:
Anne Antoinette Françoise de Champbonin writes that she takes great interest in the things that Prault wrote about her. She asks that he sends her a copy of Mr Salmon’s approval, and notes that she found in Voltaire a great desire to please Prault and a strong sense of friendship. She contradicts any claims that Voltaire is not a friend to Prault, and discusses the books that Voltaire and Émilie du Châtelet had asked Tieriot to acquire. She ends by asking what Voltaire’s recent printed work is about.
