Transcription

Hermann apologizes for her tardy reply. Many of her friends have been urging her to contact Sloane. She asks for Sloane’s support in securing her son a school place. She wants the boy to become a scholar. Anna Hermann was the wife of Leiden-based physician and botanist Paul Hermann (1646-1695) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hermann).
