Transcription
Macky informs Sloane of the passing of a man who possessed a collection of curiosities that are being sold by his children. He encloses a catalogue for his consideration. Macky lists a number of interesting objects in the collection. He will not be able to reach Sloane until ‘Jersy is taken’. He does not think it will hold out much longer, and to clarify the situation he writes: ‘I mean the Town and Fort de Scarp’. John Macky (d. 1726) was a writer and spy (J. D. Alsop, ‘Macky, John (d. 1726)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/17632, accessed 17 June 2015]).
