Brief Summary:

Autograph letter from Félicité Robert de La Mennais to Jean-Marie de La Mennais, written from Paris and dated 15 March 1818.

Detailed Summary:

Writing to his brother, Lamennais discusses the revue for which he wanted to write an article outlining his new theory of spiritual power, though he acknowledges that the said revue does not work. He goes on to discuss a contribution by Louis de Bonald and an article by Antoine Eugène Genoud concerning Voltaire, Helvétius, and Rousseau that could not be published and would therefore need to be replaced.
