Transcription
Ockley waited on Sloane to view his manuscript collection, but to no avail. He is particularly interested in Oriental scholarship. The bearer, Mr Barret, is an honourable man looking for a place to stay in London. Ockley was an orientalist who studied Arabic and Hebrew as well as publishing books on the history of the Near East (P. M.
