Transcription
Burnet is curious as to why he has not received word from Sloane. Edmond Halley has not responded to a letter from Burnet’s friend. He requests that Sloane return the quadrant by the Royal George with ‘Mess’rs Rigby & Pratter at Jamaica’. Burnet wants to send curiosities to Sloane. He asks for new books and pamphlets. John Burnet worked for the South Sea Company in the West Indies and later served as the Physician to King Philip V of Spain.
