Voltaire' "'Account all settled between us, payment of the Sieur Abraham Hirsch in full: Berlin, 16th Deember, 1750. Tush, cannot we make all that good!

I am convinced we might have kept Guadaloupe, if our negotiators had known how to have gone about it. His most faithful Majesty of Portugal is the best off of anybody in this, transaction, for he saves his kingdom by it, and has not laid out one moidore in defense of it.
