BERNOULLI Daniel (1700 - 1782) physicist. L.A.S. "Daniel Bernoulli", Basel July 10, 1746, to Charles de LA CONDAMINE| 3 pages in-4, address (wetness and small holes with loss of a few words).
He has received the report of his trip to America and thanks him for it: "it's a very interesting, instructive and pleasant work". He congratulates him on his "happy return from such a great, painful and dangerous voyage". He would like to know "the rule of M. BOUGUER, your travelling companion, to calculate the elevation of the ground by the height of the barometer, which I don't remember having read in the various works of this illustrious scholar, I am curious to know if this rule satisfies the observation, which Mr de L'Isle communicated to me in the past, and which states that at the height of 13158 feet the barometer stood at 17 inches and 5 lines while on the surface of the sea, it stood at 27 inches 10 lines.
The rule I gave on page 217 of my Hydrodynamics perfectly satisfies this observation", and he would like to know if it satisfies the observations made in America. He comes to the observations made during the descent of the Amazon, on the ebb and flow of the river, particularly at the Pauxis Strait, and asks for further details... Etc.
La Condamine made a few annotations in his own hand on the letter
