Transcription
Renard informs Sloane that he sent a box to Mr le Comte de Bothmer. He would like the missing pages from Sloane’s book on fish. He obtained a rare and curious manuscript on the History of the Indies in Portuguese, which contains information from all of the writers on ‘l’Indostan’. The book has information on the great and minor persons of Indian history, ‘des Bramines […] et de Rayas de l’Indostan’, their Creation story involving four generations of men, and their religion and culture. A translation has been commissioned by Jacques de Bayury of the ‘Compagnie Hollandaise’. Louis Renard was the Agent du Roy de France dans les Pays-Bas.
