Transcription
Morland thanks Sloane and the Royal Society for electing him a Fellow. He writes that his father left him notes to compile a work ‘on the Generation of plants’, which he is constantly adding to. He uses his microscope daily and recently examined some pink seeds. He hopes that Sloane will read his plans for the treatise. Morland was the nephew of Sir Samuel Morland, diplomat and natural philosopher (Alan Marshall, Morland, Sir Samuel, first baronet (16251695), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/19282, accessed 1 Sept 2011]).
