Transcription
Bury had sent ‘a side of venison’ to Sloane as a gift. He asks that Sloane show his collection to his brother Denys. He also sent ‘two samples of Catechu cakes. The Lady’s […] a pound of double refin’d sugar to one ounce of earth, with a little musk and Amber=grise’ to make it. Thomas Bury (bap. 1652, d. 1722) was a judge, appointed to the bench by both Queen Anne and George I. He was sympathetic to the whigs and given the position of chief baron of the exchequer in 1716, and member of the Royal Society in 1718 (Stuart Handley, Bury, Sir Thomas (bap. 1652, d. 1722), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/4155, accessed 17 Aug 2011]).
