Transcription
The Bulifon brothers, printers in Naples, are the bearers of the letter. Sherard asks if Sloane can update the Builfons on the latest events in London and arrange a viewing of Charleton’s cabinet. The latest Act of Parliament ‘fryhtend [Sherard] from buying for books’. He heard Ray’s Appendix was published and more volumes are on the way. Sherard asks Sloane to provide the Bulifons with a contact in Oxford. Sherard was a botanist and cataloguer. He worked for the Turkish Company at Smyrna where he collected botanical specimens and antiques (D. E. Allen, ‘Sherard, William (1659–1728)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/25355, accessed 24 June 2011]).
