Transcription
Balle informs Sloane that De Jussieu is pleased to have been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. De Jussieu recently received some plants from America. Balle hopes that Sloane will see the Chelsea Physic Garden surpass the ‘Royall Garden’ in Paris. Lord Staves desires a catalogue of all the vegetables in the Jardin Royal. Balle mentions an issue between the Pope and Government of France. He asks if there is anything Sloane wants him to tell Geoffroy and offers his service to ‘Doctor Stiegerthal’. He notes that there are many English doctors of great skill, including Dr Bloxham and Dr Mead. Balle requests a list of Fellows of the Royal Society. Robert Balle (d. 1733) was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1708 and served on its Council in 1710 and between 1712 and 1720 (https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Persons&dsqPos=1&dsqSearch=%28Surname%3D%27balle%27%29).
