Transcription
Bobart thanks Sloane for not reprimanding him for the money he still owes for the books provided to his college’s library. He is glad the Royal Society was pleased with his work on seeds. Bobart discusses the new beds he has made for seeds from the East and West Indies. He will send the books Sloane requested. He discusses the Arabic coin shown to Thomas Hyde. Bobart has not seen Tournefort’s ‘Parisian Catalogue yet’. Jacob Bobart (1641-1719) was a botanist and son of Jacob Bobart, the elder (c.1599-1680). He worked with his father at the Oxford Physic Garden for nearly 40 years (D. E. Allen, ‘Bobart, Jacob, the younger (1641–1719)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/2742, accessed 5 June 2015]).
