Transcription
Merret apologizes for not yet having read Camden. He has been travelling for work in the East of England. He informs Sloane of a number of items he has sent, which should arrive soon after the letter. These include ‘8 Teal & 2 Duck (Decoy Fowl)’ and a piece of amber. Christopher Merret was a physician, natural philosopher, and worked as the Librarian to the Royal College of Physicians (D. E. Allen, ‘Merret , Christopher (1614–1695)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2013 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/18599, accessed 12 May 2015]).
