Transcription
Bradley informs Sloane that he needs stamps ‘or Else the paper can not be printed by Tuesday’. He has already purchased his ‘Weekly paper as far as No. XII’, but needs to borrow money to pay for the stamps so the papers can be sent out. Mr Pinchback is out of town and Bradley cannot purchase the stamps himself. If Sloane has any questions he is to ask the carrier. A note in Sloane’s hand reads ‘sent him a guinea’. Richard Bradley (1688?-1732) was a scientific author, Fellow of the Royal Society, and Professor of Botany at Cambridge (Frank N. Egerton, “Bradley, Richard (1688?-1732)”, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2005 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/3189, accessed 10 Nov 2012]).
