  <dc:title>Letter from Secondat [Jean Baptiste, Baron Secondat de Montesquieu], Bordeaux, France, to Martin Folkes, London</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Thanks Folkes for sending him a hydrostatic balance and hopes he can repay the kindness. Mentions some writing he sent to Folkes via Madame Geoffrin written when he was taking the waters of Bagneres in the Pyrenees. He writes from zeal for physics and natural knowledge but hopes it has some merit. </dc:description>
