Transcription

Anisson suggests that he and Sloane communicate via penny post, for he again missed Sloane when he went to his home. He asks for information on ‘Kinkina’, which he is to collect for Mr Foquier. Anisson has forwarded the books to Abbe Bignon. Jean Anisson (1642-1721) was the director of the Imprimerie royale du Louvre between 1691 and 1705 (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Anisson).
