Transcription

Hermann informs Sloane that she delayed writing him back until the book was complete. The latter being the case, she has included copies for Sloane and others. Each book costs ‘6 Gil a pice’. Anna Hermann was the wife of Leiden-based physician and botanist Paul Hermann (1646-1695) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hermann).
