Transcription

Greene asks whether Sloane thinks it proper for him to contact Hales, as the latter has made enquiries regarding Greene’s estate. Thomas Green was the Bishop of Ely and was elected vice-chancellor of Cambridge University in 1699 (Rebecca Louise Warner, Green, Thomas (bap. 1658, d. 1738), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2013 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/11401, accessed 14 Aug 2013]).
