Transcription
Lhwyd has ordered the bearer of the letter to supply fossils to men who desire them. He asks Sloane to provide the man with directions to those who have shown interest in these fossils. Edward Lhwyd (1659/60-1709) was a naturalist and philologist. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1708. Sir Hans Sloane described him as the best naturalist in Europe (Brynley F.
