Transcription
Preston received the Philosophical Transactions and a manuscript catalogue. He thanks Sloane for a book on botany. One Madam Heyman provided information on a medical topic. Preston mentions some copper plates. Preston was a physician and botanist who established a lengthy correspondence with Sloane, exchanging plants, seeds, books and information. His main interest was in botany, and was well-known by his contemporaries for his botanical knowledge (Anita Guerrini, Preston, Charles (16601711), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/47084, accessed 18 June 2013]).
