Transcription
Martyn sends several papers. He requests that Sloane offer his support if they meet his approval. He could not deliver them himself because he has come down with a fever. John Martyn (1699-1768) was a botanist. He became Professor of Botany at Cambridge, though he was absent most of the time. In 1730 he moved to Chelsea to have access to the Chelsea Physic Garden. Martyn published botanical works throughout his career (D. E. Allen, Martyn, John (16991768), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2012 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/18235, accessed 17 July 2013]).
