Transcription

Balle sends a book by Dr Tilli of Pisa, a friend of his. Sloane is to tell Balle what plants he wants from Italy for Chelsea Physic Garden. He recommends that Dr Juleimi is elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. Mr Motonworth [?] wants to become a Fellow of the Royal Society as well. Balle is in good health and sends his regards to Sir Isaac Newton and Haly Sherwood. Robert Balle (d. 1733) was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1708 and served on its Council in 1710 and between 1712 and 1720 (https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Persons&dsqPos=1&dsqSearch=%28Surname%3D%27balle%27%29).
