[fol. 123] I was very unfortunate when in town this time twelve month I endeavord 2 or 3 times to have paid my respects you you but miss’d you both at Bloomsbury and the Coffeehouse. My brother the Chirurgeon in Fan-church street was in my last letter mentioning the kind notice you were pleased to take of him; if he understands his business so well as to deserve your recommendation and encouragemt any assistance you’l be so kind as to afford him will be a great addition to your former favors to me, and ever thankfully acknowleged by Sir Your most humble servt Thom. Tanner Norwich Apr. 14. 1710.
Thomas Tanner was the Bishop of St Asaph, an antiquary, and scholar. He was an associate of Arthur Charlett, another Sloane correspondent and Master of University College, Oxford. He left academic life at Oxford in 1698 to take up a clerical position at Norwich, which led to a career in the Church (Richard Sharp, Tanner, Thomas (16741735), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2006 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/26963, accessed 4 July 2013]).
