Explains to MS P. S. Laplace's method of indeterminate coefficients in mathematics. Thanks MS for her praise of his book [Prelim. Discourse], which JH values more highly than newspaper reviews.
Agrees to let HG keep one copy of JH's manuscript, but it must not circulate. Justifies strong terms in JH's description of Thomas Young.
