No takers, eh?
Frederick was inviting Voltaire to dinner at one of his estates, Sans Souci.
Read Frederick's note as follows: "venez" under "p" à "100" under "6".
In French, that's Venez sous p à cent sous six and sounds exactly like Venez souper à Sans Souci which in turn means Come dine at Sans Souci.
Now that I've done the hard part for you (Frederick's note), can you figure out the easy part (Voltaire's reply)?
