I have the Honour to transmit to your Excellency my Observations on the Weather in this Country for the two Months last past, which are as particular as the Nature of my Apparatus would admit.

I am informed that the Academy of Manheim have been very accurate and attentive in composing correspondent Instruments for almost all meteorological Observations, some of which they are Desirous of Depositing in the various Climes of this and other Countries, for comparative Observations. If this be the Case I shall be very much pleas’d to take Charge of a Set—and most probably, it is through your Excellency that I must be inform’d on the subject.

I ought to apologise for so far  ? , but I am persuaded that your Excellency’s very great Desire to promote useful or speculative Science will induce you to pardon me.

With very great Respect I have the Honour to be your Excellency’s obedient Humble Servant
