Transcription
Lhwyd thanks Sloane for his gift to the museum, writing that it will be displayed in a window. He will send Sloane any subscriptions they receive. He asks Sloane to talk to Mr Walter on his behalf. Edward Lhwyd (1659/60-1709) was a naturalist and philologist. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1708. Sir Hans Sloane described him as the best naturalist in Europe (Brynley F.
