Has had great satisfaction in reading JH's book on Natural Philosophy, but would like to correct his statement regarding the date of the introduction of lemon juice as a treatment for scurvy.
Has recently sent him a book and letter and wonders if he has received it. Congratulations on his recent honors. If he has the book perhaps he would look at certain passages.
Thanks GB for the gift of a work on medicine, and then JH proceeds to comment at some length on various aspects contained in it.
Is grateful for JH's approbation. Includes another of his works for his perusal.
