Transcription
De la Pryme had written to Sloane the previous month, relaying an account of a man bitten by a mad dog. He does not know if Sloane received it. The Philosophical Transactions have not arrived. Nor has the book Sloane ordered for him, written by Count Marsigli. De la Pryme was an antiquary, who established extensive correspondence with other antiquaries such as Nathaniel Johnston, Thomas Gale, Ralph Thoresby, and Sloane. In 1702, on Sloanes proposal, he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society (C. E. A.
