Dear Dr Corti,

In his letter to the Library of 17th May, which Mr Lees has passed to me, William Plant asks us to reply to you.

I enclose a copy of the relevant section from the translation of Carl Friederich Behrens' narrative of Jacob Roggeveen's visit to Easter Island which appears as Appendix I of The Voyage of Captain Don Felipe Gonzales...to Easter Island in 1770-1..., transcribed, translated and edited by Bolton Glanvill Corney (Cambridge: Hakluyt Society, 1908). Unfortunately this Library does not have a copy of the German original, Der wohlversuchte Süd-Länder..., von Carl Friederich Behrens (Leipzig: Monath, 1739), but it is held by the British Library, Great Russell Street, London, WC1B 3DG, to which you may care to write.

Yours sincerely,

Colin T. Clarkson,
Head of the Reference Department.
