I Have lately anfwer’d your agreeable Letter of Off. 
26. 1736. and now fend you a printed Copy of 
my Obfervation of the Tranfit of Mercury over the 
Sun , on Nov. 11. for though the uncertain State of 
the Weather was fomc Hindrance to a complete Ob- 
fervation, yet what I obferv'd, I thought proper not 
to deprive others of j chiefly becaufe it does not appear 
to me, that this Fhtenomenon has hitherto been feen 
with better Succefs. 
X beg you will fend the other Copy to Dr. Halley.
