Transcription

Morland will return the ‘Caesalpinus wth Petivers notes’, which a relation of his borrowed from Sloane. He is interested in botany and hopes to be counted among Sloane’s friends. Morland would like to be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society on account of his being the son of a Fellow. Morland was the nephew of Sir Samuel Morland, diplomat and natural philosopher (Alan Marshall, Morland, Sir Samuel, first baronet (16251695), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/19282, accessed 1 Sept 2011]).
