Transcription
[fol. 60] Sr I hope you received my letter that was to inform you that I had executed all your commands. I now send you a packet that I received from Dr. Ruysch. I will be proud to be employed in serving you in any thing here; and the mentioning your name to learned men will be a very effectual recommendation of your most obliged humble most obedient servant. W. Burnet Nov: 9 1707
