M. de Buffon, my dear doctor, has eagerly accepted your proposition. He expects you for dinner next Monday with Monsieur your grandson; kindly let him know if this is convenient. I am enchanted that this dinner is going to take place. That way, I shall not be so long without seeing you, and you know how I enjoy these occasions. Allow me to make a request here to Monsieur your grandson. As everyone pesters me for news from America, if you receive some, could he please send me a little account. Please accept a thousand sincere assurances of all the sentiments that I have devoted to you for life
