Gardens: 12 July 1789. 
My dear Sir, 
I was in hope of being able to send you my complete list of Sanscrit 
books on Astronomy, but have mislaid it ; you shall have it however soon, 
as it must be among my papers. I will not trouble you with a long letter, 
and only snatch a moment of leisure to inform you, that 200 pages of our 
Transactions are printed, and that I wish to print your valuable paper soon, 
that it may be corrected in the press with the most scrupulous attention. 
Mr. Burrow or myself, or both of us, will revise the proofs ; and when you 
have made the alterations which you proposed (though to me it seemed 
perfect, and none but yourself would have thought it needed alteration), 
you will be so good as to send it to me. L‘ Jones (who is recovering from 
her affliction on the death of her father) desires her best remembrance, and 
I am, dear Sir, your faithful and affect? 
W. JONES.

Calcutta: 16 Aug. -89. 
My dear Sir, 
We set out for our hermitage on the 22d, and hope to stay there two 
months: in that interval I shall resign the Transactions to Harington, to 
whom you will have the goodness to send your excellent Dissertation, if 
you have leisure to make the alterations which you proposed. Neither 
Burrow nor I can find the long list of astronomical books ; but I enclose 
a general list, with the names of 45 or 46 books on astronomy: when your 
Pandit has copied it, you may devote it to the Ganges, as I have another
