Transcription
Urry thanks Sloane for helping him procure some manuscripts and printed editions of Chaucer, which he is transcribing. Dr Levett also helped him. If Sloane sees Dr Hicks he should please tell him to pay Urry a visit in the summer. John Urry was a loyalist and literary editor who transcribed some of the works of Geoffrey Chaucer. His transcriptions were published posthumously in 1721 (E. I. Carlyle, Urry, John (16661715), rev. A. S. G. Edwards, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/28021, accessed 14 June 2011]).
