Serene Highness Decemb. the 4 1727

The Fire is a barren Element & has no Inhabitants, nevertheless it is the Cause of Life, not only in Beast & Birds but also in Worms; moreover neither can the Grass grow in the Feilds, nor can Trees bear Fruit, without Heat; in a Word, whatever you see, without Heat, would be changed into the hardest Ice, pray tell your Maid, to make a good Fire early, because I am old & Nothing will be more agreable to me

Farewell
