Transcription
Speke informs Sloane of Dr Llwellyn’s attempts to visit him in London. Llwellyn went to Sloane’s home and the Grecian Coffeehouse, but to no avail. He wants to show Sloane the ‘unfinished manuscript of the late Dr Collins’. Hugh Speke (born ca. 1656, d. 1724) was the son of an MP. He was an anti-papist and Whig agitator who sided with William and Mary during the Glorious Revolution (Melinda Zook, Speke, Hugh (1656c.1724), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2009 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/26100, accessed 15 Aug 2011]).
