Autograph letter signed by sender. Mislaid the copy of one of John Brinkley's mss. and would be grateful if he knows of its whereabouts. In the course of his travels in Europe he has seen some astronomical instruments, which will in time surpass any British made ones and especially those of G. B. Amici and Josef Fraunhofer.
