Transcription
Leibniz has been ill since the autumn and fallen behind in his work and correspondence. He is glad to hear that John Wallis is not dead (see: Sloane MS 4038 ff. 339-340). He includes a diagram of the system of binary counting and hopes it will be published in Philosophical Transactions. 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).
