Transcription

Wynter writes that ‘The comonwelath of Learning’ is a public duty. He encloses a letter from the Bodleian Library. Wynter wrote to Caius College, but has not received an answer. He requests that Sloane have his personal librarian, John Gaspar Scheuchzer, undertake some research. All is well in Bath. John Wynter was the Duke of Portland’s physician.
