Brief Summary:
Autograph letter from père André Morellet to Voltaire, written from Paris and dated 10 April 1774.
Detailed Summary:
The manuscript is an autograph letter, written in the hand of Morellet. It features the legislative debate surrounding the controversy of a Calvinist individual who sought burial according to Calvinist rites. Even though neither MS1 nor ED1 identify the writer, a prolonged collation of the indicia leaves little doubt that it was Morellet.
