Transcription
Isted thanks Sloane for treating Mr Rushworth and his other patients. He hopes they make it to Bath safely. Isted’s mother is to receive a ‘Pot of Pomatum’. She is ‘much better’. Some of Isted’s Jamaican lands, ‘called Hypperley’, have been sold. He shipped ‘sugar from [his] Plantation on board the Jenny [by] Capt: Robert Pitt Commander’. Thomas Isted (1677-1731) was a barrister. He married Anne Rose, the daughter of Elizabeth Sloane and step-daughter of Sir Hans Sloane (https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Persons&dsqPos=1&dsqSearch=%28Surname%3D%27isted%27%29).
