Transcription
Copley discovered a willow in Mr Arthington’s yard much like the one Sloane described. He will try to send a specimen of it. Copley describes his travels with his wife, the death of Mr Kirk, and inquires after Mr Brydges. Sir Godfrey Copley was a politician and active member of the Royal Society. He was elected a Fellow of the latter in 1691 (C. I.
