Transcription

Stevens reminds Sloane that he met her brother John. She writes in memory of Mr Kiligrae, informing Sloane of some shells in her possession. Stevens does not know when they were collected, only that it was her eldest brother, the commander of a ship of war, who gathered them. She suggests that it was before 1699. Stevens has little use for the shells and is willing to show them to Sloane.
