Transcription
The bearer is from a family of druggists residing in Paris. He is going to stay in London to get in touch with some of the ‘plus celebres marchands’ of the City. His name is Monsieur Moulins, and he is going to collect rare products for ‘le cabinet du Jardin du Roy’. Moulins is tasked with finding exotic specimens from around the world. Geoffroy received the Philosophical Transactions that were sent to him. Etienne Francois Geoffroy (1672-1731) was an apothecary and physician who studied at Montpellier, like Sloane, and worked at the Jardin du Roi and College Royal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etienne_Francois_Geoffroy).
