Assumes JH has not received the volumes sent over a month ago. Mentions international statistics briefly. Wishes to add an article about probability to a French translation of JH's 1850 review of AQ's book.
Has consulted with publisher of JH's 1850 review of AQ's book. Is flattered and sees no reason why AQ's enlarged work cannot prefix or append a French translation of JH's review. Publisher requests written acknowledgement. Asks AQ to attach a note, correcting his archery example.
