My Dear Friend

On the other Side is the Account of the Books I now send. I next must thank thee for thine of the 27: Sepr. with our Friend Kalms observations which are very acceptable to the Curious Here. I was in hopes to send thy Work which is all printed but the Engraveing is not so may Expect it soone. Thee art under great obligations to Docr. Fothergill who has annexed a pretty preface giving some account of the Work. Thy Last pappers and Errata came time Enough to be Inserted. There is another letter of thine in the Docrs. hands that requires Some notice but I am so much Engaged I can only add I am with much Esteem thy Sincere friend
