Transcription

Holte sends an abstract from a friend on microscopic experiments. He asserts the truth of the observations and was present for most of them. He apologizes for having to keep his friend’s identity secret. Sir Charles Holte (c. 1649-1722), 3rd Baronet Holte, of Aston, was the son of Sir Robert Holte, 2nd Baronet and Jane Brereton (George Edward Cokayne, editor, The Complete Baronetage, 5 volumes (no date (c. 1900); reprint, Gloucester, U.K.: Alan Sutton Publishing, 1983), volume I, page 105).
