This Latin-language letter is written in an unknown hand, but it is signed by L. himself. The letter was read two years after it was written, during the meeting of the Royal Society on 16 May 1723 O.S.

The Latin title in Philosophical Transactions translates to “Letter of Antony van Leeuwenhoek, F.R.S. About the stomata of the leaves of boxwood, also concerning the down of peaches and quinces”.
