Transcription
The letter is very faded, however it appears that Ames writes to Sloane with an account of the African House affair. Someone had paid Mr. Hunt and required him to get together his things and live at Leiden Hall and he wanted to send Sloane his thanks for all his favours and wants to return the favour anytime. Joseph Ames (bap.1687, d.1759) bibliographer and antiquary, elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1743. He was admitted to the Society of antiquaries and contributed to their Thursday meetings. He frequented university libraries as well as those of the members of both societies.
