Transcription
Bobart thanks Sloane for the books. He cannot borrow from Sherard because he is in Smyrna. Bobart asks Sloane to continue granting him such favours. He will cover all shipping costs. He adds that ‘Dr Pluknet’ has died, worried ‘what we must doe for a Regius Professor?’ Jacob Bobart (1641-1719) was a botanist and son of Jacob Bobart, the elder (c.1599-1680). He worked with his father at the Oxford Physic Garden for nearly 40 years (D. E. Allen, ‘Bobart, Jacob, the younger (1641–1719)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/2742, accessed 5 June 2015]).
