The last of my Book went to the Press on Saturday
I have looked into the last Longitude Act [40 G.3.]
and find such powers given by it as answer our wishes
powers to give rewards for improvements & inventions ,
tending only to the discovery: with a view of defraying
the expences of the more costly & tedious experiments
Only the moneys received on this account are to be
counted as to the money received for the compleat discovery.
Adieu — tell me how you go on experimenting —
Thanks for the verses — I can say no more
Monday 25 March 1776.
