I received lately the 3d Volume of your Experiments and Observations relating to various Branches of Natural Philosophy, for which please to accept my Thanks. It contains a great deal of very curious and interesting Matter. I know of no Philosopher who starts so much good Gaine for the Hunters after Knowledge as you do. Go on and prosper. Our Society will be much oblig’d by the Volume you have sent to them, which shall be deliver’d at their next Meeting; and you will receive by Mrs. Vaughan the second Volume of their Transactions.

I forget whether it was by you or by Dr. Price that the Bearer Mr. Nicklin was formerly recommended to me. He has married and settled among us, and is much esteemed here. I am, my dear Friend, with great Sincerity, Yours most affectionately
