Transcription
London, Nov. 25, 1699.
SIR,-I saw this day the strong Kentish man; he lifted
up about 2000 Ib. weight, broke a rope that would lift up about 3000 Ib., and kept himself from being pulled out of his place by a very strong dray-horse. He has nothing appears outwardly to give him such force.Edwin Lankester, ed. The Correspondence of John Ray: Consisting of Selections from the Philosophical Letters Published by Dr. Derham, and original letters of John Ray in the Collection of the British Museum (London: Printed for the Ray Society, 1848), p. 369
Letter destination presumed as Black Notley as Ray’s location in his prior and letter and response to Sloane is Black Notley. Ray was also considered not to have left Black Notley after 1679.
