Transcription
Leibniz has been corresponding with Joseph Addison. The latter has also visited him. Leibniz has several aurochs specimens in his collection. He plans on honouring Julius Caesar in Hanover. He heard there is a new edition of Caesar’s commentaries published in England and that plans to mount an expedition from Jamaica were taking shape. Leibniz was a German mathematician and philosopher who contributed significantly to the development of each field among others (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz).
