Transcription
Tournefort recommends the bearers, MM Lavater, and asks that Sloane help them in London. Tournefort has a large book for Sloane, which he will send once the war is over. Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656-1708) was a French botanist who developed the idea of taxonomically organizing plants according to the concept of genus. He published the famous Elements de botanique (1694) and travelled the Mediterranean and Caucuses to research their flora from 1700 to 1702 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Pitton_de_Tournefort).
