Transcription

Hotton hopes that his enthusiasm regarding the commemoration of John Ray did not bother Sloane. He has yet to hear from Tournefort. Hotton sends catalogues of recently published works and some small books. Peter Hotton (1648-1709), also known as Petrus Houttuyn, was Professor of Botany and Medicine at Leiden University. He supervised the university’s botanic gardens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrus_Houttuyn).
