Transcription
Mr Reynolds, an expert on old geography, is publishing 30 maps. Musgrave encloses one such map and asks whether Sloane or any of his friends want to contribute from their collections. He thanks Sloane for the 3 books he procured for him. His ‘Nephew will pay ye Bookseller.’ William Musgrave, Senior was a physician, antiquary, and Fellow of the Royal Society. He acted as second secretary to the Royal Society and edited several volumes of the Philosophical Transactions (Alick Cameron, Musgrave, William (16551721), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/19668, accessed 8 July 2013]).
