Hudson thanks Sloane for sending the books. He asks Sloane to purchase an extra copy of every new book he buys to send to the library. Hudson requests back issues of the Philosophical Transactions. John Hudson (1662-1719) was elected librarian of the Bodleian Library in 1701. He corresponded with numerous scholars and librarians, both in England and abroad (Theodor Harmsen, Hudson, John (16621719), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2013 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/14034, accessed 27 June 2013]).
