Transcription
I have forgot to remark, that, in my
Conversation 1938 (1938)
Conversation with B.Bishop G.Gordon he told me,
he had seen Voltaire, when in London;
that One needed only to look him in
the Face, to see him to be wrong-headed,
such a Stare &and Rolling he has in his
Eye; &and that he is a peevish, fretful
Body, of meagre Looks.
