Best wishes and greetings from "Your very obedient "LEO AITZEMA[1] "Hague: Jan.

29, 1654-5." [Footnote 1: Communicated by the late Mr.Thomas Watts of the British Museum, and published by the late Rev.John Mitford in Appendix to Life of Milton prefixed to Pickering's Edition of Milton's Works (1851).] Milton's answer, rather unusually for him, was immediate.
TO LEO VAN AITZEMA.
It is very gratifying to me that you retain the same amount of recollection of me as you very politely showed of good will by once and again visiting me while you resided among us.

As regards the Book on Divorce which you tell me you have given to some one to be turned into Dutch, I would rather you had given it to be turned into Latin.

For my experience in those books of mine has now been that the vulgar still receive according to their wont opinions not already common.

I wrote a good while ago, I may mention, _three_ treatises on the subject:--the first, in two books, in which _The Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce_ (for that is the title of the book) is contained at large; a second, which is called _Tetrachordon_, and in which the four chief passages of Scripture concerning that doctrine are explicated; the third called _Colasterion_, in which answer is made to a certain sciolist.
