Transcription
Massey sends ‘a small bottle of the Oleu sinapious ine igne’. He is going to meet ‘Mr Dixon at the Greyhound in Cornhill’ and ask that he deliver a sample of the product to Dr Mead. Massey plans on visiting Sloane soon. Richard Middleton Massey (1678-1743) attended Brasenose College, Oxford but left before obtaining a degree. In 1706 he was admitted Extra-Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians and settled in Wisbech where he practiced medicine. Massey was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1712. He compiled the catalogue of the library of the Royal College of Physicians in 1727 (http://munksroll.rcplondon.ac.uk/Biography/Details/2969).
