Transcription
Arbuthnot thanks Sloane for his letter, which caused great laughter. Arbuthnot was a physician and satirist most famous for his John Bull pamphlets which led to the character becoming a national symbol (Angus Ross, ‘Arbuthnot , John (bap. 1667, d. 1735)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/610, accessed 14 June 2011]).
