I had promised to send you a drawing in my next letter, but it will have to wait, since I am in a hurry to tell you today that I won the prize for the best translation of a piece from Latin into French; this prize is awarded publicly in the Cathedral Church by the first Magistrate. Mr. De Marignac, whose was greatly pleased by this, sends you his congratulations and his respect. I feel too strongly, my dear grandpapa, all my obligations to you not to make every effort to please you; I hope that you are well, my health is very good, thanks be to God. I would very much like my brother to come to Geneva, as well as the son of Mr. Adams. In addition to the pleasure it would give me, if I studied with them we could often speak in English; I miss them very much. I will write as soon as possible to my papa and mama; give my regards, please, to my cousin and to Cockran.
I have the honor of being, with deep respect, My dear grandpapa, Your very humble and obedient grandson
