Summary
Thanking Noblet for sending him a copy of his book on Russia: "I shall place your version of 'Russia' on the same shelf as the original work. It is enriched with some notes that the latter does not possess"; mentioning a book by another author about Finland: "A virgin subject, & treated with enthusiasm & fine taste [...] It is a long time, since I have opened a volume, wh. has more interested me"; asking Noblet to pass along his thanks to the author of the latter.
