Transcription
Ray returns Sloane’s books. He could not do much with the Magellan plants, which were imperfect specimens. He asks if he can borrow the Chinese plants that Sloane had lately received. He updates Sloane on the status of his book. Ray was a theologian and naturalist who collected and catalogued his botanical findings in the much lauded Historia plantarum (1686, 1688) (Scott Mandelbrote, Ray , John (16271705), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2005 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/23203, accessed 18 June 2013]).
