Transcription

Merret thanks Sloane for the feedback he gave on the papers and for arranging to have back issues of Philosophical Transactions ready for him when he is in London. Merret complains that he was overcharged for the Transactions. He will send some amber, wood, and bark to Sloane soon. 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]).
