Letter 0403

Connor thanks Sloane for the hospitality shown him on his visit to London. He has not received anything from Poland. Connor is having ‘a small little treatise’ translated and printed. He has letters for ‘dr Ratcliff… and dr Brown’. Connor asks Sloane to let him know if anything ‘new in Physick [is] coming out, or it yr Book of Plants is finished’. He is stopping at Cambridge before returning to London. Bernard Connor (c. 1666-1698) was a physician and writer with an interest in Poland. His magnum opus was The History of Poland (1698).
