Summary
Concerning books and letters he would like her to send; saying "I cannot find the British Critic; but I will endeavor to procure [it.] In the changing of House, I was at Ramsgate - & you may imagine in what confusion the Books are - I am exceedingly anxious to have that pacquet entitled Literae Sacerrimae, containing Lamb's & other Letters -. But there are likewise some Books, I particularly want - and therefore - unless you should have an opportunity by some trusty person who will not be as long on the Road as Mr. Carne with dearest Sara's nice letter, I must wait & will write again about it. - I think that Gassendi's works are among my books - at least some part of them - Desire Sara to see whether the Syntagma Philosophicum is the name of the work in the Gassendi Volumes that I have -. Likewise, I want Fracastorii opera - but I will write on this again, when I can think of some method."
