Transcription

Harward has made the changes to his work as Sloane suggested. He is working on an electuary of his own, discussing its composition and his publication plans. Harward includes an outline of the text, including a recipe. He believes a Commissary General in the American colonies is necessary and would like to be considered for the position. Harward thinks he would do a great service to the Lord of London and the Royal Society in such a capacity. Reverend Thomas Harward was a Lecturer at the Royal Chapel in Boston, New England.
