Transcription

Hermann wrote Sloane three months ago and has not received an answer. She writes again to inquire whether she should not simply put the book in the bookseller’s hands as the situation has become such trouble. She begs Sloane for his advice on how to proceed to get her husband’s work finished and published. Anna Hermann was the wife of Leiden-based physician and botanist Paul Hermann (1646-1695) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Hermann).
