Oriel Coll., Oct. 10, 1717.
I should have written yesterday, to prevent your trouble of writing to
Mr. Laughton, but I was not informed of what I have mentioned before last
night.

This Letter, as well as the one immediately preceding, appears to have
been intended by Dr. Clarke for publication, as in both the concluding
passages relating to private matters have been struck through, and on the
back of this last is written, "These to be added to the next edition of
Leibnitz's Letters." I believe those Letters never reached a second
edition.
