Transcription
Monsieur Morand, the bearer, is a member of l’Académie des sciences. Morand is in London to learn how to perform an operation from Monsieur Cheselden, who learned the method from Monsieur Raw. Geoffroy requests that Sloane provide Morand with a letter of recommendation and thanks him for the package of books and Philosophical Transactions. Etienne Francois Geoffroy (1672-1731) was an apothecary and physician who studied at Montpellier, like Sloane, and worked at the Jardin du Roi and College Royal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etienne_Francois_Geoffroy).
