By the mail with this, we send you the sheets of your excellent work.
The book is just from the press & we take the liberty of sending in this loose [ ] manner at the request of Count Vid[ ] who we fear has left you before this—[If] it should be so, you will please keep this copy If he should still be with you, we should be glad you would signify it to us & it will give us much pleasure to forward you a copy more worthy of being placed to your library—
