Transcription
Sherard recommends the bearer, Dr Connor, to Sloane. He asks Sloane to acquaint Connor with members of the Royal College of Physician and the Royal Society. Connor ‘came from Poland to Brussells [and was] physitian to ye Electresse of Bavaria & designs to return again to Poland, of wch country he will give you very good memoires’. Connor wants to see ‘Mr Coopers preparations’ particular. Sherard was a botanist and cataloguer. He worked for the Turkish Company at Smyrna where he collected botanical specimens and antiques (D. E. Allen, ‘Sherard, William (1659–1728)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/25355, accessed 24 June 2011]).
