Transcription
Milward is writing to Sloane to update him on his move and informs Sloane that he declined his invitation to visit in person because he thought that that would encroach too much on his time. He would like to visit sometime in the future when it is leisurely, either at Sloane’s house or at Milward’s new place at new north street. Edward Milward (1711/12-1757), physician and writer was educated at Trinity College Cambridge but left without graduating and acquired his doctor of medicine from a European university, probably Leiden. His main interests were medical writers of antiquity on which he wrote many essays.
