Transcription
Bruce wants to renew his correspondence with Sloane after ‘so Long [a] silence’. He recommends the bearer, Thomas Orr Jr., the son of Presbyterian Minister Thomas Orr. Orr Jr. is to travel abroad to study surgery. James Bruce was the Minister of the Presbyterian General Synod of Ulster. He was ordained at Killyleagh around 1684/85 and was a tour de force within the Synod of Ulster, serving on several committees and influencing its other members (Alexander Gordon, Bruce, James (1660/611730), rev.
