Transcription
[fol. 308] Sir I send you an account of V. Viviani’s book as the Royal Society commanded me. I must beg of you to recommend the printing it exactly, for otherwise it will be unintelligible. If when it is corrected you will send down the last [?] to me, that will help secure it. I am Sir Your most humble and most obedient servant DGregory. Oxon. 8 June. 1704.
