Secretarial copy of À Mr L’abbé de Voisenon, written in the hand of Wagnière and dated 19 October 1765.
Detailed Summary:
A second, unknown hand has added additional text to the end of the letter. A provenance note, also added in the same hand, explains what this additional text is: ‘‘Réponse de l’abbé de voisenon; m. favart m’a prié de l’insérer au bas de cette lettre, en forme de note.’
The MS is endorsed in a second hand as ‘No.2’ and ‘original’. Both of these endorsements are underlined. The same hand has added additional text and a provenance note to the bottom of the poem.
