Transcription
Ray informs Sloane that he received the latter’s package yesterday. This included ‘Compound flower’. Ray has enclosed a letter to Sherard for Sloane to pass on, though he does not have Sherard’s address. Ray explains that the letter to Sherard is one of thanks for his help and collaboration. Ray was a theologian and naturalist who collected and catalogued his botanical findings in the much lauded Historia plantarum (1686, 1688) (Scott Mandelbrote, Ray , John (16271705), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2005 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/23203, accessed 18 June 2013]).
