Good S^r:

I recd your kind present, & am convinc'd the world will be the more impatient for your acc^t. of S^r: Isaac, by reading the Elogium. I have not been able to collect any thing further, material to your purpose {tho'} I have not spar'd enquirys. I have got an extract from the register of Westby but nothing in it significant. I shall endeavor to assist D^r. Newton (who is no extraordinary penman) to answer all your querys, as fully as possible. Your Coz. Newton Smith is in a languishing condition. If you reserv'd any copys of the Chronology from the Printer, I shall beg the addition to your favors, of one to be left for me at Bettesworths the bookseller in Pater noster row: but not that you need to buy one. I am persuaded you will soon be master of materials enough to give us a full acc^t. of S^r. Isaacs life. the sheet you sent D^r. Newton is certainly S^r. Isaacs hand writing, I have another sheet before me from among S^r: Isaacs papers relating to his estate, of the very same hand. I remain with thanks for your favors & kind wishes to me Good S^r:

Your most obliged

& most obedient Serv^t.

W^m: Stukeley
