Transcription
Motte informs Sloane that he cannot make it as far as Bloomsbury due to the weather. He writes that he will wait on Sloane tomorrow at 3:00 in the afternoon. Motte was a printer whose son of the same name would go on to publish Gulliver’s Travels. Motte Sr. is mentioned in his son’s DNB entry, see: (J. J.
