Worthy Sr:Sir

You are certainly in the right that Sr:Sir Isaac was posthumous, I was inadvertently led into the mistake, by the silly custom of beginning the year at Ladyday. Dr: Newton of our town is the person I mean by Mr Newton, it was according to his own order. & all the information he is able to give, you have there: I have sent to Dr. Mead this post another sheet which is the last. I have spoke to the minister of Westby & other places to search their registers, about Sr:Sir Isaacs ancestors, & intend to see what Sr:Sir Michael Newton our neighbor has about it. & have made other requests where there seems any likelyhood of receiving informations, which you shall see when I have them.

Sr:Sir Michael is burgessing at our town very briskly

I am Sr:Sir

Your obliged humble servant

Wm: Stukeley

Grantham 15 Iuly 1727.

Tis not unlikely that you may have in your hands a spare copy of Sr:Sir Isaacs Principia, if so, I shall esteem it an acceptable present.
