You are very kind, my dear Papa, and I thank you a million times for your kindness; you see how promptly I have returned your book. Unfortunately, it is not the one I had hoped for, and I beg you, my dear Papa, to kindly send me instead: Philoso: Trans: vol. lxxiii for the year 1783. Part 1.

Would you kindly, my good and dear Papa, give the above mentioned volume to the person bringing you this one. I am quite impatient to go embrace you and tell you I love you very dearly.
