Transcription
Cooke requests that Sloane help him pay a debt, for he is finding prison very difficult. He offers a subscription to a work he is going to publish: ‘my Translation of the Works of Hesiod’. Thomas Cooke (1703-1756), known as ‘Hesiod’ Cooke, was a popular translator of the Classics and writer (Sidney Lee, ‘Cooke, Thomas (1703–1756)’, rev. Arthur Sherbo, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/6180, accessed 20 Aug 2014]).
