Contents: "[In Letter 43 [letters.0047] West refers to a letter he wrote to Gray 'above a month ago', to which he had received no answer. The date of Letter 43 is doubtful. If it was written on 3 Dec. 1737, West's unanswered letter would have been written in October; or in November, if Letter 43 were written in January 1738. (See Letter 43, n. 9.)]"
