(a series of letters from early 1759)
Fritz: Can you ask your doctor Tronchin to come treat my brother, I got money
Voltaire (to Tronchin) : lol who does he think he is! “money”, so degrading! don’t even respond, lemme tease him
V: No he can’t, he’s busy attending to the French royal house, tell your brother to come to him. by the way, you have no heart, no sympathy, you being a hero means nothing to me
F: *duly triggered, says some bitter stuff*
V: OMG I WAS HELPING YOU!! I was merely telling you what Tronchin said! And THIS is how you repay my KINDNESS????
p.s. don’t you know I love you, because you are the best of kings, in a way?F: aw
