Transcription

Rawdon was humbled when he received ‘the testimony of [Sloane’s] Curiositys’. He thanks Sloane for corresponding with him. Mr Harlow, a man who worked in Jamaica, has died. The books Sloane asked about are ‘in good order’. Rawdon plans on visiting England next summer and will come to London to see Sloane. John Rawdon was the son of Sir George Rawdon, 1st Baronet and Hon. Dorothy Conway (http://www.thepeerage.com/p33072.htm#i330718).
