Transcription
Morton sends fossils from Northamptonshire. He would like to publish an abstract in the Philosophical Transactions apropos the natural history of Northamptonshire. When he last saw Dr Thorpe the man was trying to attain the letters of the late Mr Lhwyd. John Morton was a naturalist who was in correspondence with Sloane from roughly 1703 to 1716. Morton contributed nearly one thousand specimens (fossils, shells, bones, teeth, minerals, rocks, man-made artifacts, etc.) to Sloane’s collection (Yolanda Foote, Morton, John (16711726), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2010 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/19364, accessed 2 July 2013]).
