Paris, April 2nd, 1833.
My dear Sir,

When I consider the very unpromising nature of my work, and the small probability there was of success, I am more and more sensible of what I owe to your kindness and liberality, and beg you will accept of my sincere thanks for all you have done in this affair. I am quite surprised at the number of copies that have been sold, and I must add very much pleased, for independently of myself, I should have been truly grieved had you been a loser by having generously undertaken what appeared so hopeless. I am happy to find you have ventured on my new attempt,* and trust it will be more popular. I have done all I can to make it so, and shall be glad of any advice you may give on the subject.

We have spent the winter most agreeably, and are much delighted with Paris and the attention we have met with.

Yours, my dear Sir, very sincerely,
Mary Somerville.
