* * * Mr. Frembley, the Gentleman who has 
1 made the Obfervations on the Infers, has drawn this 
4 Extract from his Journal : And I can anfwer for the 
* Truth of the Fa&s therein contained, as there is not 
c one of them but what I have fcen repeated above 
* Twenty times. I fend you the Paper in French , not 
* having had Time to tranflate it. I wifh others may 
4 be encouraged to try the Experiments over-again, 
4 and fatisfy themfelves of the Truth, by their own 
4 Eyes. The Infects may certainly be found in Eng- 
* land , if carefully lookt for, efpecially by fuch as 
4 are accuftomed to fuch Enquiries. However, if that 
4 fhould be found difficult, it may be eafy to fend 
4 fome over to you : And Mr. Frembley will give Di- 
4 regions how to keep and feed them ; for he makes 
* himfelf a Point d’honneur of being communicative, 
4 and concealing nothing of what he knows about 
4 them. If therefore you have any Doubt, or want 
4 any further Information, pleafe only to write to me, 
* or to him, and you fhall be fure of an Anfwer, by the 
4 firft Opportunity. I pray to be kindly remem- 
4 bred &c.
