McBride’s last letter was sent from Scotland with Mr McCracken. McBride recommends the bearer, James Anderson, and asks Sloane to help the man find a position as an apothecary’s journeyman. Dr Ferguson wrote a letter of recommendation as well. See: Sloane MS 4043 fols. 200-201. John McBride (ca. 1650-1718) was Minister of the Presbyterian General Synod of Ulster and a religious controversialist (D. W.
