Transcription
Dereham is glad Sloane and the Royal Society received his letters. He hopes to send Sloane a copy of ‘Rizetti de Luminis affectionibus’. ‘Hence forward the Giornali de Letterati of Venice shall be sent over as they come out’. Dereham has been in contact with James Jurin and is worried some books he sent to the Royal Society did not arrive. Eustachio Manfredi congratulates Sloane on his becoming President of the Royal Society. Manfredi’s ‘Metheorological Observations’ will be of interest to the Royal Society. Dereham will do what Mr Derham asked of him in due time. Sir Thomas Dereham (c. 1678-1739) was a British expatriate and Roman Catholic who lived in Italy. He had a close association with the Royal Society (https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Persons&dsqPos=0&dsqSearch=%28Surname%3D%27dereham%27%29).
