Transcription
Massey sends a strange stone from the River Ribble, thinking Petiver might want to include it in his new work. He notes that the bean fields have been ravaged. He asks for advice on ‘fluore albo inoeterat’. Richard Middleton Massey (1678-1743) attended Brasenose College, Oxford but left before obtaining a degree. In 1706 he was admitted Extra-Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians and settled in Wisbech where he practiced medicine. Massey was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1712. He compiled the catalogue of the library of the Royal College of Physicians in 1727 (http://munksroll.rcplondon.ac.uk/Biography/Details/2969).
