Additions:
A missing word has been added superscript on the antepenultimate line of f.1r. Voltaire has added a title to f.1r which reads: ‘premier memoire sur l’assassinat commis par le curé de moens nommé ancian envoyez a M le premier président de dijon et a mr le procureur general’. He has also corrected the third word on l.14 of f.1v by writing corrected text over the top of incorrect text.
