Transcription
[fol. 47] Sr Apr 5 1698 I give you my hearty thanks for the Trans- actions you ordered me, wch I have recd. The first hath no other Errata, but my own. What else are in the latter I have not time to see, having but just taken it at Mr Smiths. I intend to write this evening to Mr Fennley for his Observations, which will be more worthy of the Press than mine. And if in any thing else I could, I should be glad to shew my self Sr Your much obliged & most humble servant Wm Derham
Derham thanks to Sloane for providing him with issues of the Philosophical Transactions.
Derham was a Church of England clergyman and a natural philosopher, interested in nature, mathematics, and philosophy. He frequently requested medical advice from Sloane, and likely served as a physician to his family and parishioners (Marja Smolenaars, “Derham, William (1657-1735)”, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/7528, accessed 7 June 2011]).
