Transcription

Fraser has been too busy to send anything as of late. To make up for an apparent mix-up Fraser offers to send Sloane a book of equivalent value or return the book he had in the first place. James Fraser (1645-1731) was a book dealer with a formidable personal library (Brian Moffat, ‘Fraser, James (1645–1731)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/73233, accessed 11 May 2015]).
