Transcription
Lister has read some of the letters Sloane sent from Jamaica. He hopes to send some books soon. Lister asks if Sloane was aware of a package that was being sent to his Lord from Jamaica. Lister was a physician and naturalist who was honored by being appointed second physician to the queen in 1710. He wrote and published several medical and natural history works, some of which appeared in Philosophical Transactions, as well as serving as vice-president of the Royal Society briefly in 1685-1686 (J.
