Dear Sir

I have recd with yours of 1 the copies of the “Elements of Arithmetic,” which I shall dispose of as you wish.

I learn with pleasure that your work on Trigonometry2 has found so valuable a sa[n]ction & adoption. I hope it presages the good fortune to the present of which I doubt not your talents & familiarity with such subjects have rendered it not less worthy. Accept my esteem & my friendly wishes
