ALS in French, signed “V,” one page, 4.5 x 7, no date. Letter to “Monsieur Crammer,” possibly one of the Cramer brothers from Geneva, who were Voltaire’s official publishers. In full (translated): "My taste is in relation with yours. I like that mysteries are secrets. I do not know if you have used the thoughts on public administration & in the story of the twelfth wolf [in Latin, “lupus duodecimus”]. If they are not there [the thoughts] I will sew them to the mending mix. I am preparing for you with one hand this constant harping on and with the other one continuation of the story general jumble. If I had another hand it would be to the service of pleasant ‘per amabile.’” In very good condition, with heavy overall wrinkling and staining. Accompanied by the hand-addressed cover, as well as a later transmittal letter. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
