Transcription
Harris reminds Sloane of the ‘Indian Pastoral’ he sent. He praises Sloane’s knowledge of philosophy and calls him ‘Master in all other Liberal Arts and Sciences’. ‘Kings bench prison’ is unpleasant and Harris again asks that Sloane help him get out of ‘the horror & dismality of the place’. He hates to have to write Sloane, but he has been incarcerated for four months for a small debt. If Sloane helps him he will publish the ‘Indian Pastoral’ and give it to the ‘East India Company’ men. The bearer will take Sloane’s reply to Harris. Timothy Harris was Keeper of the Coffee House in Ormond Street, London.
