Robert Clavell spoke to Mr. Walford, inquiring about some West Indian plants, but Walford was unable to provide him any information. Clavell therefore seeks Mr. Pecaver’s (James Petiver) advice on the matter (‘James Petiver, FRS Apothecary to the Charter-House: Miscellaneous correspondence’ British Library [http://searcharchives.bl.uk/primo_library/libweb/action/display.do?dscnt=1&fromLogin =true&doc=IAMS040-002116460&displayMode=full&dstmp=1432649891937&vid=IAMS_ VU2&ct=display&tabs=detailsTab&fromLogin=true&fromLogin=true, accessed 16 July 2015]) Robert Clavell was a successful bookseller and publisher who served as master of the Stationers’ Company from 1698-1700. Clavell is known for his role as editor of the Term Catalogues, which was a bibliography of new English Publications.
