Dillenius informs Scheuchzer that an acquaintance by the name of Brown would like to meet Sir Hans Sloane. Johann Jakob Dillenius (1687-1747) practiced medicine in Grünberg, Hesse and served as town doctor in Giessen. He was also a botanist and the first president of the Botanical Society (London). Dillenius was elected FRS in 1724 and served as foreign secretary of the Royal Society in 1728-1747. G. S. Boulger, ‘Dillenius, Johann Jakob (1687–1747)’, rev. D. J.
