Transcription

Hermann asks Sloane about Materia Medica. She is continuing to publish her husband’s works due to Sloane’s encouragement. She writes that others have likewise encouraged her. Hermann requires funds for this endeavour and asks him to forward any money raised for this purpose. Anna Hermann was the wife of Leiden-based physician and botanist Paul Hermann (1646-1695) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hermann).
