Transcription
De la Pryme had waited on the Duke of Devonshire, who honoured de la Pryme with a chaplainship. He thanks Sloane and the Royal Society for accepting his contributions. De la Pryme related some botanical descriptions to Sloane. He has not received any of the Philosophical Transactions Sloane mentioned in his previous letter. De la Pryme was an antiquary, who established extensive correspondence with other antiquaries such as Nathaniel Johnston, Thomas Gale, Ralph Thoresby, and Sloane. In 1702, on Sloanes proposal, he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society (C. E. A.
