Transcription
Morton sends seven copies of his Natural History of Northamptonshire and £5 to pay for the subscriptions. He asks Sloane to tell Sir Isaac Newton he is at his service. Morton includes a receipt for the seven books. 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]).
