Transcription
Vernon has not been able to find a ship bound for the Canary Islands. He thinks it is too late in the year to travel there and will collect what specimens he can in the meantime. There are 4 or 5 curiosities he hopes worthy of Sloane’s inspection. He shall communicate his thoughts on them soon. Vernon will send any curiosities he finds to the Royal Society for its museum. He offers his services to ‘that honourable club at the Temple.’ William Vernon was a Fellow of Peter House, Cambridge.
