Transcription

Haliday belatedly congratulates Sloane on his Baronetcy and sends a book. Lancisius, ‘the Pope’s first Physician’, and Jablonski would like to know why their letters have not been answered. Haliday was a minister who studied in Glasgow and Leiden before being ordained in Geneva, Switzerland (A. D. G.
