Transcription
Dawes asks Sloane to examine his young niece. Sloane is to meet him after four o’clock because he cannot get home from the House of Lords before then. Sir William Dawes was a scholar, cleric, and politician actively involved in the discourses of each of these fields of interest (Stuart Handley, Dawes, Sir William, third baronet (16711724), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/7336, accessed 8 June 2011]).
