Transcription

Kinnaird recommends Dr Sheuchzer, a physician and Fellow of the Royal Society. Sheuchzer is working on a natural history of Switzerland. Kinnaird laments that there is very little support for scientific pursuits of this nature in Switzerland, so Scheuchzer desires more English contacts.
