This note confirms that the existence proof for absolutely free algebras originated by Dedekind in [2] and completely developed for instance in [4] can still be carried out in a topos containing an infinite object i.e. an object N for which N ≃ N+1 if the type of the algebras considered is finite, pointed and internally projective i.e. is a finite sequence of objects, (Ij)i≤j≤k for which the functors ( )Ij preserve epimorphisms and each of which has a global section.
