Some time after the appearance of [Menabrea 's] memoir on the subject in the "Bibliothèque Universelle de Genève," the late Countess of Lovelace informed me that she had translated the memoir of Menabrea . I asked why she had not herself written an original paper on a subject with which she was so intimately acquainted?
Ilang oras matapos na ang itsura ng [Menabrea 's] talaarawan sa ang paksa sa "Bibliothèque Universelle de Genève," ang huli kondesa ng Lovelace tungkol sa akin na siya ay isinalin sa talaarawan ng Menabrea. I asked kung bakit siya ay hindi mismo nakasulat na isang orihinal na papel sa isang paksa na kung saan siya ay kaya intimately acquainted?
