Transcription
Ray informs Sloane that he received the papers, but had yet to read through them. He has been distracted by having to reply to Dr Hotton, professor of physic and botany in Leiden. Ray discusses botanical scholarship and his dealings with other botanists. Ray was a theologian and naturalist who collected and catalogued his botanical findings in the much lauded Historia plantarum (1686, 1688) (Scott Mandelbrote, Ray , John (16271705), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2005 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/23203, accessed 18 June 2013]).
