Transcription
Morton would like to show Sloane some of Mr Hill’s medals. When going to ‘Mayers’s Coffee House’ to meet Mr Hill he happened to run into Captain Hatton, ‘who before [he] thought had been dead’. He encloses some papers related to subscription payments. John Morton was a naturalist who was in correspondence with Sloane from roughly 1703 to 1716. Morton contributed nearly one thousand specimens (fossils, shells, bones, teeth, minerals, rocks, man-made artifacts, etc.) to Sloane’s collection (Yolanda Foote, Morton, John (16711726), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2010 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/19364, accessed 2 July 2013]).
