Transcription

Goodall asks Sloane to look through his books and send him via penny post information regarding Arabian measurements viz. ‘tasanagi e kexabes’. He invites Sloane to stop by his house for half an hour. Charles Goodall was a physician, academic, and member of the Royal College of Physicians, working for the latter on occasion (Harold J.
