Knowlton sends plant specimens, each of which he describes in some detail. Thomas Knowlton (1691-1781) was a gardener and botanist. He corresponded with several members of the Royal Society before coming to the attention of Sir Hans Sloane. Knowlton discovered the ancient city of Delgovicia, near Pocklington in Yorkshire. His observations on the site were published in the Philosophical Transactions in 1748 (Thomas Seccombe, ‘Knowlton, Thomas (1691–1781)’, rev. P. E.

[fol. 2] Sr It is now about a fortnight since the Post brought me your very civill & obliging Letter, the receipt whereof I should sooner have acknowledg’d but that I awaited ye arrival of your acceptable present, wch Mr Smith sent me not will last week, deferring so long I suppose that he might send my Book & that together, wch by ye Printers fault was not sooner finished. I am too conscious of my own weaknesse to own what you write of me, yet look upon it as an effect of your kindness & good will: it being a common fault in friends to permit their affection too much to influence & biasse their judgement. I am sorry that I had not leaisure & opportunity when I was in London curiously to view your rare Collection of Plants. I know I should have received much information & satisfaction thereby. I hope you persist in your resolution of making your discoveries & Observations publick, for your own honour, & the advancem’t of Reall Philsophy, & that you move forwards vigorosuly in it. I am sensible that ye charge of Figures may deterre you, therefore I think it were adviseable to imitate Dr Plukenet, to draw y’em in piccolo using a small scale, & thrust many species into a Plate. I would not have ye ingenious deferred ye fruition of such a treasure, the sight of so gratefull objects nor you the credit of your inventions. I hope you have received the little Tract, wch I ordered Mr Smith to present you with a Copy of. If you some down into the Countrey this Summer, I hope you will doe use ye kindnesse to give use a visit at Black Notley: My wife (who tenders her humble service to you) as well as my self would be so very glad to see you heer. shes with due thanks for your many favours & great kindness is all at present from Sr, Your affectionate friend & humble Servant John Ray Black Notley June 8. 81.

Ray was a theologian and naturalist who collected and catalogued his botanical findings in the much lauded Historia plantarum (1686, 1688) (Scott Mandelbrote, Ray , John (16271705), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2005 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/23203, accessed 18 June 2013]).

You have, Sir, been exceedingly good in speaking to the Duke of New Castle for me and his Grace has been so kind as to send down an order upon it, but it is so unhappily worded for me, that except you are pleasd to prevail upon him to make some small alteration in it, I shall reap no benefit by it. for the order says, that I shall go abroad for two hours in a day only, you know, will be spent in going and Coming thro the streets of London, so that I shall have no time to stay in the open air, which is the intent of my going abroad; in the Next place, It directs that I shall have an officer and a Warder to attend me, and the Expence of providing horses for them and myself will be so great [fol. 183] that I am by no means able to do it; I have represented this in a letter to his Grace, and begd of him to Indulge me with the liberty of five or six hours in a day, attended by an officer or a Warder, and there is not an officer or Warder here, but are willing to take charge of and Answer for me in this manner for I thank God, my behaviour has been such among them, that they think me incapable of a dishonest action and much less of so base a one as to make ill use of any Independence which they are pleased to allow me; Now, Sir as you have been the only person who has procured this Indulgence, I most humbly beg the favour of you to back the representation which I have made to the Duke, which is so true and reasonable, that the least application from you will produce an Order of service to me; since all I request is to go abroad for 5 or 6 hours attended by an Officer or a Warder only I hope you will pardon me for giving you so much trouble to believe me with the greatest gratitude I respect. Sir your most obliged humble sert Gero. Kelly

George Kelly (b. 1688, d. in or after 1747) was a Jacobite agent and conspirator. He was arrested twice in 1722 for his involvement in a plot to restore the Stuarts. Kelly was imprisoned in the Tower of London, where he was supported by his family, Jacobite members of parliament, and Sir Hans Sloane. He escaped in 1736 and fled to France (Roger Turner, ‘Kelly, George (b. 1688, d. in or after 1747)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2006 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/15297, accessed 29 Aug 2014]).

[fol. 38r] Sr   Two or three days ago I met with the Tryal of the suppos’d Witch at Harford. I know not what Judgment the Town makes of it but to me it appears, that as there are many of these Circumstances which some or other have noever been wanting to swear at all past Tryals of Witches, so there is a very great deal of the same Folly & imprudence in the manager which, of ^when^ suffer’d, have never fail’d to bring great trouble & dis turbances, not only to the poor old Creatures, but to all timerous Persons, & the whole Neighbourhoods where they are, & which if it once gets head, our learned Judges will find hard to suppress, till its own Mischief hath convinced the World of the Guilt & Folly.      You have sometimes since the trouble of perusing some historical collections & observations I had made upon this Subject, & as I have them by me with some little improvement since you saw them, If this printed Case be considerable enough to want an Answer, & my Papers be thought any ^answer to it, ^ I would not be unwilling to venture any such Answers as I should meet with from same.  The Judge who tried her & hath the Life of the poor Woman upon his case, tho & hath Heard most of ye Arguments about it, is the likewise Person to Know what is proper in this case, But as I am a perfect Stranger to him, it would be a piver of Prosumption for an Obscure Country Parson to trouble him with his Papers, But If your general Conversation hath given you an Acquaintance With him, & he will give himself the trouble of reading them & shall afterward approve of them so far as to give leave to Have them dedicated to him it will encourage the Reader to Venture more freely in making his judgment of the case, & to Be a security to me from such insulting Involvement as
