To MR. M -

LYONS, October 19, 1763.

DEAR SIR, - I was favoured with yours at Paris, and look upon your reproaches as the proof of your friendship. The truth is, I considered all the letters I have hitherto written on the subject of my travels, as written to your society in general, though they have been addressed to one individual of it; and if they contain any thing that can either amuse or inform, I desire that henceforth all I send may be freely perused by all the members.

DEAR DOCTOR - I flattered myself with the hope of much amusement during my short stay at Montpellier. - The University, the Botanical Garden, the State of Physic in this part of the world, and the information I received of a curious collection of manuscripts, among which I hoped to find something for our friend Dr. H - r; all these particulars promised a rich fund of entertainment, which, however, I cannot enjoy.

NICE, December 6, 1763.
