Copy of a letter in the University Library at Leipzig addressed to 

 " President Clap :" 



Philadelphia, November 28, 1751. 

 Sir: 



I am heartily sorry for your 

 Disappointment in Letort ; I would 

 not have imagin'd he would have behav'd 

 so imprudently, and let so very profitable 

 a Jobb slip thro' his Fingers. I have 

 done with him. 



I hope you will be able to procure a 

 Subscription to furnish your College with a 

 compleat Apparatus for Natural Philoso- 

 phy. If you are like to succeed I will con- 

 tribute the Electrical Part. 

 Borver has lain ever since in Mr. 

 Parker's Hands at New York. He desires 

 you would order one of your Boatmen to 

 call for it. 



We had the Pleasure of a little of Mr. 

 Whittelsey's Company a few Days since. 

 I hope he will get well home. 



My Respects to all Friends. Please 

 to accept the enclos'd from, Dr Sir, 



Your obliged huml 

 Servn
