Transcription
Hotton wants to settle his account with Sloane for the books and publications he purchased in the last year. He requests a copy of the Royal Society’s Catalogue. He includes a list of recently published books on botany and mentions that he has heard that someone has written a history of Naples. Peter Hotton (1648-1709), also known as Petrus Houttuyn, was Professor of Botany and Medicine at Leiden University. He supervised the university’s botanic gardens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrus_Houttuyn).
