Brief Summary:
Autograph letter signed from Jean Baptiste de Boyer, marquis d’Argens to Antoine Honneste d’Adhémar de Monteil de Brunier, marquis d’Adhémar, written from Potsdam and dated 18 October 1753.
Detailed Summary:
D’Argens discusses Voltaire’s actions towards Frederick the Great, and defends him because his enemies published writings under his name in order to discredit him. He adds that it would have been good for Voltaire if he had followed his advice or at least heeded it now and notes that if Voltaire behaved well with the Margravine in Bayreuth, it would easily be possible that everything could be put right again.
