Transcription
Petiver informed Breyne that the letters and manuscript were delivered to Sloane. Breyne asks for copies of the Philosophical Transactions for 1711 and 1712. The widow of a local physician, Dr Gottwald, is selling some of his charts, books, and natural historical specimens. Johann Philipp Breyne (1680-1764) was a German botanist, zoologist, and entomologist known primarily for his work on the Polish cochineal, or Porphyrophora polonica, used in red dye production. He became a fellow of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in 1715 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Philipp_Breyne).
