| Description | Harrison sends thanks for their letter concerning the lantern microscope and would be grateful if they paste a copy of the list of the parts of the microscope in the box as they suggest. Harrison gave the key personally to their messenger and saw him place it in his pocket and instructed him not to lose it.
Their letter was the first Harrison had heard that Newton & Company had ordered the eyepieces to lend to the Royal Society, and he apologises that this was done in vain. |
