If there be any charge ( as I think there is) I will thankfully repay it, wn I have the happiness to meet wth you, or rather I desire you to take it of Mr Innys, who will reckon wth me for it wth other things. I have sent it open for you to see it, & if you have in your Travels met wth any satisfaction about Hie Ignus fatui, be pleased to communicate it to Your much obliged humble servt Wm Derham You will superscribe & seal my Lr.
Derham was a Church of England clergyman and a natural philosopher, interested in nature, mathematics, and philosophy. He frequently requested medical advice from Sloane, and likely served as a physician to his family and parishioners (Marja Smolenaars, Derham, William (16571735), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/7528, accessed 7 June 2011]).
