This is only to accompany the adjoin’d lettre of mr. Weinbrenner, who, as you sir, does not loose time to make use of your kind proposition of giving some introductory letters to his agent, who is Mr. Donath. This gentleman will set out in a few weeks for Philadelphia New york and Boston, where he will spend two years. He will carry with him various productions of this conntry. I hope you will as soon, as convenient for you, grant the request of mr. Weinbrenner.

Your original lettre with the medal inclosed is not yet come to hand, neither the Philadelphia Almanach, you was so good as to send me a year ago.

The cast of my profil, i send you, is made in the usual manner of gyp[sum] or plaster of Paris; which being dryed is smeared over with parchment glue or glue of ising glas warmed. When this kind of varnish is thereabout dry, the whole is covered, by means of a very fine brush or pencil, which silver dust, called silver bronze, to be got every where in colour Shops. The parts of the cast thus finish’d, which aught to be polish, are rubbed with a polish’d piece of steel.

Your advise about the statuary was thankfully recieved and much approved of. I recieved at last from mr. le Begue the first 5 sheats of my book under the press at Paris. I did not find one Single typographical error in them.

I hope still to see you here with your grand son before you set out for your beloved America. I am with the greatest estime Your most obedint Servant and affectionate friend
