Autograph letter signed from Jan Ingenhousz to 'den Heer [Jan] van Breda tot Delft', signed and dated 'J.Housz Wenen den 8 Maart 1786'. Ingenhousz lived in Vienna for many years [1768 - 1789], in the service of Empress Maria Theresa as Court Physician. The letter starting 'Mijn Heer & waarde Vriend', discusses a letter he encloses to the 'secretaris te Uytrecht' to which he has added some changes and additions. He can't help it that the secretary or other 'heren directeuren' [Provinciaal Genootschap Utrecht?] feel ill-will towards Barneveld [who wrote a book on medical electricity in 1785] and feels his demands are fair. The Count Wassenaar has already found 2 of his friends prepared to discuss the letter in the april 3 meeting. Ingenhousz says his experiments in electricity cause a stir in France. The Academy in Dijon, Bertholon and Achard he feels will not be pleased. A friend read his correspondence with Senebier of whom Ingenhousz states that he is quite wrong.
