My dear Sir,
Your interesting and important paper2 must set all men really desirous of the truth a-thinking, and I am much obliged to you for it.
Should you have leisure to make a call at any time I think you would have an agreeable interview with a Lady whose fame in her department is almost equal to your own in the world of Science. Miss Edgeworth3.
She is living at No 1 South Audley St. and is very desirous to make your acquaintance but cannot go out & laid her injunctions on me to make this private and very marked communication to you. As she is more than 70 - tho' still of very vigorous mind I hope that I may stand excused of all indiscretion in obliging the commands of a Lady and an authoress.
Believe me, My dear Sir | Very faithfully Yours | John P. Boileau
