Transcription

Sherburne apologizes for asking Sloane to lend him a book at an inconvenient time. He hopes that he may ask for it again and assures Sloane that he will return it as quickly as possible. Sherburne was a translator, poet, and recusant known for his translations of classical Latin authors (Hugh de Quehen, Sherburne, Sir Edward (bap. 1616, d. 1702), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/25359, accessed 21 June 2013]).
