Transcription
Newton thanks Sloane for his letter, the contents of which he communicated to Magalotti and Grandi. He shares his observations on some wheat found nearby. Sir Henry Newton was a diplomat who worked extensively in the Italian states. He published several works in Latin while in Italy and was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1709 (Stuart Handley, “Newton, Sir Henry (1650-1715)”, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/20058, accessed 15 June 2011]).
