Continues JH's defense of Laplace's writings on probabilities [see JH's 1845-12-22].
A note to accompany a working out in convenient form an example of Laplace's probability ideas. [Enclosure not found.]
JH's second letter has convinced him. Has now written a new conclusion to the chapter showing the principles of P. S. Laplace in a new light. Does not think Laplace's example is a fair type. Has already rewritten the chapter on the Doctrine of Chances.
