Accompanying letter to a copy of a letter on muscle fibres.

It is not clear of which letter Leeuwenhoek sent a copy to Heinsius. The first letter in which Leeuwenhoek acknowledged his new opinion about muscles was Letter L-509 of 26 October 1714 to the Royal Society. However, because of the mention of the tendons running crosswise (see note 2), it concerns probably Letter L-512 of 9 November 1714.
