Transcription
Sherard apologizes for troubling Sloane about the prints as they were not sent through him after all. Some dried plants have been sent to him by Dr Niccola. Sherard writes that ‘Ld Rockinghams councell being sick’ the past several weeks ‘puts a stop to it’, not specifying what ‘it’ is. Sherard was a botanist and cataloguer. He worked for the Turkish Company at Smyrna where he collected botanical specimens and antiques (D. E.
