Note 278 — LETTERS TO M. DE POMPONNE.
Reading edition
Petit is a feigned name, meant either for Le Tellier or Colbert. With regard to Puis***, as, from the sense of the expressions, he must be one of the judges against Fouquet, there is little doubt that Puissort is the person alluded to; and what is said of him in the preceding Letters must be so understood.
