Sir

I received Mr Sewals Hebrew Grammar which You sent by Mr Sherman. For which I return You my Thanks. I have read Ten Hebrew Grammars, and think that this is the best, especially for Beginners; Mr Robertsons, lately published, at Edinburgh, abounds more in critical Observations for Proficients Be pleased to give my Compliments and Thanks to Mr Sewal, and I remain with much Respect,

Your humble Servant

Thomas Clap
