Letter 3680

[fol. 220] I had the pleasure of receiving your kind Letter of ye 11th Sept: for which I am very much obliged to you & am glad that you approve the method I take for my studies. As to my going to Paris it is a thing for which I am much inclined, tho: I am not sure my Father will give his consent, nevertheless he will not be averse to any thing which he can be persuaded will turn to my advantage, especially if you’ll be so good as to propose it as coming from yourself and not from me. The Letter wherein you were pleased to recommend Mr Annesly and me, we carried to to Dr Boerhave, who received it wth great civility and promised to doe us any service that lay in his power. I thank you very heartily for your offer of recommending me to some of your acquaintance att Paris which wou’d be of great advantage to me, shou’d I be so happy as to goe there after I have left this place, which I design not to doe till after next year, by which time I shall have gone twice thorough wth ye Professors, besides my private studies for which there cannot be a more convenient place than Leyden. I beg you wou’d make my compliments to all the members of your thursday Assembly; and honnour me wth your commands if there is any thing in these parts that I can serve you in. I am Hon’red Sr your most dutiful Grandson and most obedient ser’tt Rose Fuller Leyden Octob: 26/15 1729
