Transcription
Le Vassor asks whether Sloane has found a place for him to stay, as he must leave Mr Wharton’s by Easter. Michael Le Vassor (1648-1718) was born in France, but converted to Protestantism. He went to Holland to embark upon a literary career, making several important contacts there. He travelled to England in 1697 and authored the ‘Histoire de Louis XIV’ (1700-1711). Louis XIV responded by requesting that Vassor be dismissed, which came to pass. Vassor was then given a pension by WIlliam III (https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Persons&dsqPos=0&dsqSearch=%28Surname%3D%27vassor%27%29).
