My dear Sir,
This letter will be sent to you by Mr QUETELET, the chief astronomer of the Netherland. This gentleman takes great interest in meteorological researches, and I cannot direct him to anyone who knows so much about it as you do. Knowing your kindness I hope than [sic] you would communicate to my friend, Mr QUETELET, anythink [sic] which he may wish of your meteorological observations.
If Dr TOOD [TODD] is with you, I hope than [sic] he would be also so kind as to giving [sic] the informations which Mr QUETELET may require.

Monsieur,
Monsieur Quetelet
à Bruxelles
J'ai appris avec plaisir votre retour à Bruxelles. Agréez mes félicitations au sujet des resultats satisfaisants de votre voÿage; je ne doute point qu'ils n'aÿent les suites les plus heureuses pour l'étude de l'astronomie dans ce paÿs-ci.
