Martin apologizes for the loss of a package and regrets the ‘lost time and labour’. He has no business in London and plans on returning to the country in October. Martin has ‘A Copy of the dissertation of St Kilda’ for Sloane. Martin studied medicine in Leiden and practiced as a doctor in Middlesex, England until his death in 1719 (Domhnall Uilleam Stibhart, Martin, Martin (d. 1718), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/18201, accessed 19 June 2013]).
