Transcription
Leibniz sends Sloane an account of a newly discovered comet. He reminds Sloane that he still wants his opinion on the adoption of the Gregorian Calendar. He has heard that John Wallis is dead and hopes it is not true. 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).
