Transcription
Locke believes Sloane has done ‘too great an honour to those odde nails I sent yu to lodg them in the Royal societies Musaeum’. He is considering writing and publishing a history of them. He spoke with the ‘yonge man [who provided the nails] a second time’. Locke has sent a copy of ‘les Beautie de la Perse’. He asks Sloane to provide a copy of ‘Dr Molineaux’s letter’ for him when it is printed. Locke was a philosopher, physician, and highly influential proponent of liberalism in England (J. R.
