Transcription
[fol. 300] Hond Sir Being obliged to go out of the town sooner than my expectation I was deprived of the opportunity of paying my respects to you; but I took the liberty with Monsieur des Maizeaux to desire of him to wait upon you with my most humble service, and to ask the favor you would let him collate my MSS. of Bostellus with your which he acquaints me you have been so good as to grant in a most kind, and obliging manner. I am very sensible, Hond Sir, of your kidness [sic], and acknowledge myself infinitely [fol. 301] obliged, and return you many thanks for this favor. I should think myself very happy if i could be any way capable of having the honor of your commands, that i might have the opportunity to assure you, that i am with great respect, and sincerity Hond Sir Your most humble and obliged servant D. Ferrari Holkam in Norfolk 12 August 1731
Domenico Ferrari (d. 1744) practiced law in Naples before traveling to England, where he met Sir Thomas Coke, Earl of Leicester. He converted to Anglicanism and worked as Leicester’s librarian until his death in 1744.
