Leeuwenhoek wrote this letter to William Brouncker as a cover letter, stating that he sends some observations and a Latin translation. It is probable that this letter accompanied the preceding one, dated 5 October 1677, addressed to Henry Oldenburg. There is, however, also a possibility that the next letter, which bears the date November 1677, was covered by this one.
