Annotations
On 8 June 1675, Oldenburg took the opportunity to forward this letter to Spinoza, and he did that through the traveller’s pocket of a French doctor of medicine from Caen named Isaie Lebourgeois. Presumably, he delivered the parcel in The Hague to Spinoza personally, but that letter may also have been forwarded to the philosopher by another intermediary.
