The Friedrich-Voltaire Correspondence contains much incense; due whiffs of it, from Reinsberg side, to the "divine Emilie," Voltaire's quasi better-half or worse-half; who responds always in her divinest manner to Reinsberg, eager for more acquaintance there.
Correspondence on this subject lasts from 22d September, 1759, to 8th May, 1760: IB. pp. 170-186. As to Voltaire again, and the new Friedrich-Voltaire Style of Correspondence, something more of detail will be requisite.
In itself the Friedrich-Voltaire Correspondence, we can see, was charming; very blossomy at present: businesses increasing; mutual admiration now risen to a great height, admiration sincere on both sides, most so on the Prince's, and extravagantly expressed on both sides, most so on Voltaire's.
"FREDERIC, P. R. of Prussia." By what route or conveyance this Letter went, I cannot say. In general, it is to be observed, these Friedrich-Voltaire Letters liable perhaps to be considered contraband at BOTH ends of their course do not go by the Post; but by French-Prussian Ministers, by Hamburg Merchants, and other safe subterranean channels.
The Friedrich-Voltaire relation is evidently under sore stress of weather, in those winter-autumn months of 1752, brown leaves, splashy rains and winds moaning outwardly withal. And, alas, the irrepressibly electric Voltaire, still far from having ended, still only just beginning his Anti-Maupertuis discharges, has, in the interim, privately got his DOCTOR AKAKIA ready.
