Weiss, president and secretary respectively Of the French Protestant Historical Society, for many acts Of kindness and for valuable help in my later rc searches. I owe to the courtesy Of Mr. Ferdinand J. Dreer, Of Philadelphia, the facsimile Of an inter esting letter of the Reformer, now in his rare col. Lection Of manuscripts.
