Transcription
Charlett has enclosed a catalogue of foreign books to be auctioned at the College. He thanks Sloane for the Philosophical Transactions. Dr Wallis is particularly glad to have them. Charlett discusses birth and death records in Germany. Charlett was elected Master of University College at Oxford in 1692 and held that post until his death in 1722. Charlett used the mastership to gain influence, especially through persistent letter-writing to numerous correspondents, sharing the latest literary, political, and scholarly gossip (R. H. Darwall-Smith, Charlett, Arthur (16551722), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/5158, accessed 18 June 2013]).
