Neatly penned partial autograph document in French, signed "Voltaire," one page, 6.5 x 8, January 5, 1761. The untranslated document appears to concern a business transaction, with Voltaire stating that he has paid the interest on land owned by the de Crassy family; he then confirms that he does not want the land, but rather to see it remain with its 'legitimate owners.' Cloth-matted and framed to an overall size of 11.75 x 13.75. In fine condition, with light staining along the top edge.
