Transcription
Gordon’s ship is bound for the Baltic. He asks Sloane to tell John Hoskyns that he made inquiries in Southampton as requested, but found nothing of interest. Gordon sends his regards to the Greshamites and offers his services to the Royal Society. Patrick Gordon (d. 1702) was a Naval Chaplain on the HMS Salisbury. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1694 (https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Persons&dsqPos=5&dsqSearch=%28Surname%3D%27gordon%27%29).
