Transcription
Wanley returns Sloane’s manuscripts and is relieved that he is letting him help. He was worried that he had disobliged Sloane through his absence. Wanley has been working on the catalogue and restates his great obligation to Sloane. He asks Sloane to help him repay it by making use of Wanley whenever possible. Wanley was an Old English scholar and a librarian. He contributed four catalogues to Bernards Catalogue, a collection of manuscripts published in 1697. He was appointed assistant at the Bodleian Library in 1695 (Peter Heyworth, Wanley, Humfrey (16721726), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/28664, accessed 19 June 2013]).
