Transcription

Hermann thanks Sloane for sending money. She apologizes for the slow progress made on her late husband’s book and sends a copy of his herbal in the interim. Anna Hermann was the wife of Leiden-based physician and botanist Paul Hermann (1646-1695) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hermann).
