Transcription

Barnes informs Sloane that the rarities he is sending should arrive in London by Friday. Sloane can send payment by the same courier. Barnes will accept a fair offer, but reminds Sloane that he is in need of money. The rarities consist of 17 specimens from the sea and one from inland.
