Transcription
Gray sends the picture of the bones Sloane had requested. He wants it returned as soon as the Royal Society is done with it. Gray’s brother says that he will search for the rest of the bones with the encouragement of a gentleman. Gray thanks Sloane for the Philosophical Transactions. Gray was an experimental philosopher who established a rapport with the Royal Society and Royal Greenwich Observatory, published articles in the Transactions, and experimented with electricity (Michael Ben-Chaim, Gray, Stephen (bap. 1666, d. 1736), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/11354, accessed 26 June 2013]).
