My dear Lucia
will you join with Harry in answering his Question about the Copernican System – or rather the Solar System – I believe you already un-derstand it – You can with the more ease assist him – I want he should get engaged in that Study - & it will not dissence[sic] you to revise it –
All the little Boys must be very good indeed – I shall bring them all something when I come home –
Adieu my Dear, I must conclude or lose the mail – your affectionate Papa
