Transcription
Tournefort asks for plant specimens. He solicits information on botanical scholarship and inquires about an issue of the Philosophical Transactions. Tournefort thanks Sloane for the books the latter has sent him. Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656-1708) was a French botanist who developed the idea of taxonomically organizing plants according to the concept of genus. He published the famous Elements de botanique (1694) and travelled the Mediterranean and Caucuses to research their flora from 1700 to 1702 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Pitton_de_Tournefort).
