Transcription
Buddle informs Petiver that his wife was “brought to bed this evening,” and “in ye morning I [Buddle] was in hast then coming for the midwife[.]” (bap. 1662, d. 1715) was a botanist and an ordained minister with the Church of England. While living in Henley, Suffolk, Buddle corresponded with James Petiver and Samuel Doody. Buddle had an impressive collection of mosses and grasses that he lent to Petiver and Doody, which were later passed on to Tournefort and Bobart. Buddle also acquired several specimens of English flora, which he bequeathed to Sloane. (James Britten, ‘Buddle, Adam (bap. 1662, d. 1715)’, rev.
