Transcription

Barlow received Sloane’s letter. He offers his service. Barlow writes that it was presumptuous of him to send the ‘description of our Epidem. fever’ and expect Sloane to review it. He requests that Sloane send it ‘to some competent Judge’ so it can be published soon, as ‘its Speedy publication might […] be of service to the Country’. John Barlow was a physician.
