Transcription
Massey is looking for ‘two little tracts writt by Dr Herman Boerhaave’ and several other books. If Sloane sees Dr Thorpe he is to pass on Massey’s address. He plans on visiting his ‘Mother Oxford’ to see Jacob Bobart. Richard Middleton Massey (1678-1743) attended Brasenose College, Oxford but left before obtaining a degree. In 1706 he was admitted Extra-Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians and settled in Wisbech where he practiced medicine. Massey was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1712. He compiled the catalogue of the library of the Royal College of Physicians in 1727 (http://munksroll.rcplondon.ac.uk/Biography/Details/2969).
