Transcription

The librarian at Oxford could not find the manuscripts Sloane requested. Holland posits that Charles King may not have given the manuscripts to the library or did not ‘design it for the Library’. Mr Stanley will receive whatever manuscripts Sloane sends. John Holland was the Warden of Merton College, Oxford.
