Hautefontaine between Soissons and Compiegne 8th May 1729 n.s. Sir On the 24th past I sent from Paris a long Box directed for you, containing a new Plan of Paris, the Author of which, Abbé de lagtive, gave it to me as a Present for the Royal Society, to be accompanied by a Letter from him, which however I have not yet received. I sent the said Box on the River to Roüer, from whence it will be forwarded to London by a ship, and delivered to you free of any expense. I have now the honour to send you some Copys of the Price proposed by the Royal Academy of Science at Paris, as I had them this morning from Mr Woolhouse. He mentions to me a new Book in [8?] you have de–sired of him (tho’ he does not name the Title) which he will send to me. As soon as I receive it, I shall take the opportunity of the first Messenger to forward it to you. It is now a long while since I troubled you with a Box of fossils from Soissons. I have heard you have been so Dr Rutty: good as to lay them before the Royal Society; but had any answer from yourself, I begin to doubt your letter to me may have miscarried. I should be glad to know, whether things of that nature are liked in the Assemblys, in which case I have more of them almost at the very door of this Country Seat, which I may send you for the Society’s Repo–sitory. They are most of them of the same sorts you have already, very beautiful and entire, but exceedingly small, so that if you approve of my sending them, the Packet shall not be very bulky. I intended, those I sent before should some free to you, but I hear the Custom House officers at Dover were the occasion of their going on to London perhaps at your charge. You will be pleased to lett me know whether you payd any thing, and I will take care to refund it. I hope you will be satisfied of my willingness to perform the little services I am able to do in my present situation, and you will give me leave to add, that it will be be your fault if you do not furnish me with opportunitys of showing how much I value the honour of being the Society’s Servant whilst I dare not presume upon sufficient capa–city of exerting myself as a Member. Any letter for me recommended to Mr Preverau at the Duke of New–castle’s office will go safe by the Post, and if it be a Packet, by some Messenger. I am with the most perfect esteem Sir Your most humble and most obedient Servant P.H. Zollman Octob. 16. 1729 Copied P.S. If the Custom House officers in France and England do not disappoint my care in packing up those Fossils, and they come safe to your hands, I beg you would be pleased to show them first of all to Sir Hans Sloane, and to make my offer of them, together with my humble Respects, acceptable to him; acquainting Him at the same time, that upon my first arrival at Paris, not finding the Abbé Bignon in Town, nor his Secretary at home, I delivered the Packet Sir Hans had given me for him, to the Surss at the Abbé’s Hotel. You will do me also a particular favour in You will excuse my troubling You with the enclosed for Dr Dillenius. P.H.Z

Zollman writes to Dr. Rutty to inform him that he sent a “long Box … containing a new Plan of Paris.” Zollman explains that the package was supposed to contain a letter from the Abbé de lagtive but he did not recieve it. Zollman informs Dr. Rutty that he has some copies of the “Price” which he will send to him. Zollman notes that it has been a long time since he has sent Dr. Rutty any fossils. He asks Dr. Rutty to find out if the Royal Society would care to receive any more fossils in the near future. Zollman expresses that he “value[s] the honour of being the Society’s Servant” and requests every opportunity to show his commitment. Zollman asks if Dr. Rutty would show Sr. Hans Sloane the box of fossils once they arrive and concludes by asking Dr. Rutty to review the paper he has drawn up. Philip Henry Zollman (c. 1680-1748) was the Royal Society’s first Assistant Secretary for Foreign Correspondence, a post he assumed in 1723. He first landed in England in 1714, was trained in several foreign languages, and regularly corresponded with Leibniz (Derek Massarell, ‘Philip Henry Zollman, the Royal Society’s First Assistant Secretary for Foreign Correspondence’, Notes and Records of the Royal Society of London 46, no. 2 (1992), 219-234).

  • Description

    The Duke broke his legs and sustained injuries to his hands and other places. He is itchy at night. The Duke 'goes to Stool' once a day, but refuses to be purged. The author hopes the cold weather does not affect the Duke's condition.

  • Diagnosis

    Unspecified eruptions.

  • Treatment
    Previous Treatment:

    Sloane prescribed an 'Electuary & sassafras tea', but neither agreed with the Duke. They caused stomach pain. The Duke took 'Elder berry water to take away the Pain'. The electuary used to purge the Duke in the past is not agreeing with him. The medicines Sloane prescribed the Duke last year agree with him. Other medicines taken by the Duke include '13 Grains of the Countess of Kents Powder, & one spoonful of Syrrup of Mulberrys, 2 spoonfulls of Piony water, 2 spoonfulls of Penny Royal Water, & 2 spoonfulls of black Cherry Water with some Powder of Crabs Eyes in it'.


    Ongoing Treatment:

    The author thinks the Duke's 'scorbutick humour' should be purged. Sloane's advice is solicited.

Transcription

Barwick apologises for the ‘ill natured humour’ he was in when Sloane and Mr Poultney the apothecary came to see him. He says the apothecary and Dr Cole were in his parlour not two hours before. Barwick has been composing a letter to a person of quality: ‘every word of which I was to ponder well; because I knowe into which hands it might come’. He asks Sloane to become involved in his daughter’s business. Peter Barwick (1619-1705) was a physician. He served Charles II in 1651 and was censor of the College of Physicians in 1674, 1684, and 1687. Sir Hans Sloane was one of the executors of Barwick’s will (Peter Elmer, ‘Barwick, Peter (1619–1705)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/1614, accessed 9 July 2014]).

    Previous Treatment:

    His brother consulted a Dr. Cheyne who advised against bathing in the Bath waters. However, his brother defied him much to his benefit. Thomas noted that his brother had epileptic fits as a child.


    Ongoing Treatment:

    L. Delafaye bathed and drank the Bath waters to relieve constriction and pain in the joints of his hands, arms and legs. He also suffered from gout and took a "trimming diet." On f. 60v, there is a prescription in Sloane's hand for a decoction of milk.


    Response:

    The waters have lengthened his legs a bit so that his crutches were too short. However, the cure was not perfect. His brother had asked Thomas to convey his concerns that his condition would worsen and requested that he ask Sloane how to prevent it. Thomas also noted that his brother's knuckles were splitting and becoming flattened.

Courten thanks Sloane for his correspondence and puts himself in Sloane’s service. He wishes Sloane good health and hopes he returns from abroad soon. Courten promises to dispose of the seeds Sloane sent as he requested. Mr. Ashmole was in ‘ a verry weak condition and I fear he will hardly passe this winter.’ The King and Queen had left for Windsor and the ‘Princesse & Prince George for Tunbridge’. The Queen was said to be pregnant. William Courten, alias Charleton (1642-1702) was a naturalist and collector. He may have adopted the name Charleton to avoid creditors. Courten befriended Hans Sloane and Tancred Robinson while studying at Montpellier and was well acquainted with other physicians and scientists including Martin LIster and Leonard Plukenet. After his death Courten’s collection came into the hands of Sloane and the latter authored Courten’s epitaph (B. D. Jackson, ‘Courten , William (1642–1702)’, rev. A. J. Turner, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2006 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/6447, accessed 22 July 2014]).
