Fol. 231 [Not Dated] Sr Upminster Jun: 29. 17 Hearing of Mr Hunts death, & yt Mr Sa- nex ye Globe-maker hath a mind to his place, I cannot forbear ( wthout any sollicitation or knowledge of seruppes [?]) to say to you, That I know no man about Town fitter for the place, he being an in- genious diligent man, & delighting in things of yt nature, besides (if I mistake not) he designs & engraves pretty well. I am really sorry to hear of Mr Hunts death before he had instructed any body in the Reposito- ry affairs, I wish it be not fatal to yt collection, & yt the Soc. hath not cause to repent their not prosecuting what I suggested long since to them, both in Council when I had the honr of being a mem ber of it, & since also as well as in Lrs to your self, & some other leading Members. I beg yr pardon for these suggestions I trouble you with, wch my hearty love to, & concern for the honr & good of our most famous Soc. have entrusted from Sr Your much obliged & affectionate humble servant Wm Derham Altho the occasion be of great consequence, I had like to have forgotten to desire the favour of yr advice for my Son. About a 4tnight since he was taken, wch a great pain in his Breast, Feaverish, & a short Cough wch we took to Pleuretick: for wch they blooded him, his blood being a little fizy: upon wch he was somewhat relieved. His large continuing I had him home, & find him faint, weak, under a great loss of appetite, & his Tongue somewhat whitish, but his Pulse low. The pain is now not great, but wt is, remaineth at ye upper part of his Belly a little above ye Navel His Cough is also but smal now. I fancy him worse some part of ye day than others. He was vomited a week agoe wth Icapecuana wch brough up much ropy fibre, & purged last Saturday wth Cale- mel & Pulo: Carnachini, wch have somewhat relieved him; but he continues drooping, & under a loss of appetite, if not wth a little feavour dodging about him. About a 4night before his pleu- retick case he was kicked up at Foot-ball, & had a violent fall on his Breast, wch pained him afterwards, but not long nor much he saith. We apprehended Worms, & gave Calomel for yt reason, but we never saw any come from him. My Wife (wth her humble service & thanks to you) joyns with me in ear- nestly desiring your advice when his case: & if your leisure will permit, your speedy answer will much add to ye favour.

Derham was a Church of England clergyman and a natural philosopher, interested in nature, mathematics, and philosophy. He frequently requested medical advice from Sloane, and likely served as a physician to his family and parishioners (Marja Smolenaars, Derham, William (16571735), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/7528, accessed 7 June 2011]).

Ambrose Godfrey Sr. (1660-1741) was a chemist. He was first employed by Robert Boyle and went on to work at Apothecaries’ Hall. Godfrey analyzed the chemical properties of stones, waters, and other materials for Hans Sloane and the Royal Society. His work was published in the Philosophical Transactions from 1731 to 1736 (Lawrence M.

Richardson writes of several people who suffered from the same ailment. It fell ‘chiefly amongst the poor people’. The epidemic killed many people. Patients have a ‘depressed pulse’ and ‘malignant fever’. The man who brought the illness from Lincolnshire is still alive, but has headaches. Richardson tried to contact the Consul, but he is traveling in France and Holland. He congratulates Sloane on the success of smallpox inoculation, noting that ‘it was practised in Asia long agoe’. Richardson was a physician and botanist who traveled widely in England, Wales, and Scotland in search of rare specimens. He corresponded and exchanged plants with many well-known botanists and naturalists (W. P. Courtney, Richardson, Richard (16631741), rev.

[fol. 42] Braintree Nov. 9th 1720 Sr My Neighbour Dr Allen whose case you have already had; Desires me to acquaint you, That the oppres-sion he had at his Breast and Stomach is much abated, and thereby the frequent Keckings he had are ceased, and his Catarr deminished, so that he Coughs more seldom and his expectoration is more digested: his Stomach now begins to med, so that he can not only relish what he eats, but also digest it. About 10 days agoe when I was first called in to attend him, I found the aforesaid symptoms very pressing accompaned [sic] with a continual but slow fever, a brown but afterwards black Tongue, dejected spirits, Thirst and uneasiness, his Urine high colour’d only with an Hypostasis, and his Pulse full and regular; but these are now much better, tho not altogether vanish’t, and he hath twice or thrice had gentle breathing sweats: He now complains of faintness and lowness of Spirits; continues the Use of the Bark (in Decoction his Stomach not bearing it in Substance) and Liquid Lau-danum which he thinks relieves his faintness. This being his case he desires your brother Directions. I am Sr your most humble Ser’t S: Dale

Samuel Dale was an apothecary, botanist, and physician who contributed several articles to the Philosophical Transactions. He was John Ray’s executor and good friend, and from Dale’s letters to Sloane we learn many details of Ray’s final moments (G. S. Boulger, Dale, Samuel (bap. 1659, d. 1739), rev.

Mark Catesby was a naturalist, influenced by John Ray and Samuel Dale. In 1712 he went to Virginia and collected botanical specimens, gaining the attention of Dr Sherard and Sloane upon his return in 1719. In 1725 he explored the Bahamas and published his ‘The Natural History of Carolina, Florida, and the Bahama Islands’ a year later (F. Nigel Hepper, Catesby, Mark (16831749), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Sept 2012 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/4882, accessed 23 July 2013]).

Hereupon, I said, I knew my Lord to be so honorable in his Nature, as willingly to yield up unto you his pretensions to many Books; because you had done so to him, when he came first to a former parcel, as you, Sir, do now to this. Sir, in the nature of my Lords Printed Library, Biblical & Liturgical Books make up one main Article; and Grammar & Lexicons, another. I know (notwithstanding my Lords Absence) that he will & does readily yield up divers things to you, which he intended to have had: so that now you interfere only as to these following, pag. 22 no. l. s. d. 223.

He has a true veneration for your Person & truly Honorable Character, and will always shew it by convincing Proofs: and I hope you will second your former instance of good will to him (who collects these things ex professo) by allowing him to be the Purchaser, which will yet much more oblige him.
