Discussing the observed irregularities of the moon's motions; asking Maupertuis to use his good offices with Alexis Clairaut to persuade Clairaut to share his new approach to the "problem of three bodies" with Euler; noting that if Clairaut has solved the problem of three bodies, "this would be the most important discovery in celestial mechanics that has ever been made"; mentioning [Jean Le Rond] d'Alembert.
