Transcription
Sherard tells Sloane of a Jesuit priest, Father Goree, who allowed him to use ‘his observatory […] near Santorina’. He is having some papers published in France that may be of interest to Sloane. The papers were previously presented to the Marquis de Feriot, Ambassador to ‘ye Porte’ (Ottomans). Sherard was a botanist and cataloguer. He worked for the Turkish Company at Smyrna where he collected botanical specimens and antiques (D. E.
