[fol. 60] Kensington November the 1st 1709 I did some time since fully intend to acquaint you, that the Letters upon the Monumnet being much decay’d by the Weather, I thought it absolutely requisite, that they should be renew’d; But some business then preventing me, it afterwards quite slipt out of my memory and probably I should hither to have continued forgetfull, had not our Church wardens come to inform me, that two new Gates being to put up in the places of the old ones, they design’d to have those, and the other two in the Church yard, to be handsomly colour’d, [and now our Town Painter is doing them] and to entreat my endeavour to prevail with you, to have all the iron work of the Monument to be coloured; which, I beleeve, would have been much for its preservation, had it been done at first; However it may be time enough yet, to secure it from being thoroughly devour’d by Rust. The doing of it so, will make it much more ornamental in the place it stands in it being near that door of the Church, through which all Persons of the best quality go in and out. I have perform’d my promise now, in mentioning to you what they desir’d, and shall judge it a favour; if you will let me know, whether you so far approve of that they have requested, as to order its being done, and with what colour, whether white, blew, or lead; They also exprest, how much neater the Rails would be, if the top of each bar were gilt, but not knowing the charge thereof, I shall leave that to your consideration. If I can in any thing be serviceable to you, you may freely command me, as being Sr Your much obliged friend and servant, Charles Seward. True respects and service are presented to you and Madam Sloan, by myself and daughters.

Charles Seward (d.1716), clerk of Kensington. (Thomas Faulkner & B. West, History and Antiquities of Kensington, London: 1820, pp. 274).

[fol. 169] Sr Upmr Jun 28 1708 Culverwell was with me on Saturday, & very pressing about his Floor, by readon his Rye grows ripe, & Harvest draws nigh. He saith that all the Floor was covered wth single Deals, but yt about 5 years agoe he was forced to pull up one part to mind the order, & that his Corn hath suffered much by it since, the clay floor being at some times of the year so soft as to suffer the impression of the feet, & fowleth all his corn threshed thereon; which I believe is true enough. The part uncovered is but 12 feet, which will not much en- hance the charge. I therefore ordered him to prepare for flooring the whole; & I suppose he will be in Lon- don with the Carpenter yt was with you, to buy the Deals on Monday next. The Joyce that are allready laid he saith will all do again, they having been well repaired not above 8 or 9 years agoe. So that your charge I lay thus. Nince Joyce each 12 feet long, at 3d p foot running Whose scantling shall be 4 inches one way & 5 ye other [GBP] s d 1 7 0 50 Double Deals at 2s or 2s-2d per Deal 5 0 0 Pin-wood, or what may happen more 0 3 0 The Carpenter (& Culverwell also promiseth the same) that if Any Deals be left unused they will take them off your hands & allow you for them the same they stand you in, for which reason they may perhaps buy more than 50. I should be glad that you would come the next week, & view it your slef, which if you do not, I you I told my imposing us are now laid to seem whole will sink under our feet, they are so rotten underneath, & grown so thin. Which seems probable e- nough by reason they are white Deals, & single (that is but an inch thick) & the floor earth under the floor damp. I shall be at home all the ensuing week, & ready any day to wait on you, all times to shew my self Sr Your much obliged, faithfull humble servt W Derham My humble service to your Lady. I hear since my writing this that Culverwell & the Carpenter cannot go to London to buy the Deals before next Fryday; therefore if you can come before you may order matters as they ought to be.

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 (1657-1735)”, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/7528, accessed 7 June 2011]).

[fol. 126] Sir The great civility you have often expressed by inserting some of my Mathematical Tracts into the philosophical Transactions, does make me presume to beg the favour of you to do the same with this inlclos’d. I desire you would not shew it to any person privately, except to Sr Isaac Newton, to whom I have written a letter acquainting him that such a thing is in your hands & desiring that he would be pleas’d to examine it before you produce it at a meeting of the Member of the R.

[fol. 25] Worthy Sir When I arrivd here in April last from Cochinchina I took the opportunitie just to let you know that I was alive; and upon my arrival at Banjar I receivd yours of the date December 15. 1704 with a great deal of pleasure being the second I have had from you since I left England. Im obligd to you for remembring me with some Books, but only the Transactions come to my hands. After the Honble Companie was pleasd to conferr upon me the Chiefship of Banjar, I thought of staying there sometime to fetch up my losses, but now that place being likewise ruind, I begin to think it high time to make a trip home to visite mt friends which is the greatest raritie I can bring them after running of so many hazards (the relation whereof might bring me into the list with Mendez Pinto) which have deprivd me of the opportunitie I formerlie enjoyd of endeavouring to graitifie my Worthy Friends with what curiosities came in my way: Nevertheless the deep impression of Gratitude & my Inclinations continue still the same, & as a token thereof I send you a few minute Specimens of Cochinchinese Plants by the Surgeon of the Carleton, hoping to bring the rest myself upon the Bleinheim next year if we meet but a favorable of getting a loading here for her. I am with all imagineable respect Sir Your most Obliged & most Humble Servt Ja: Cuninghame Batavia Septr. 22. 1707

London, Feb. 16, 169

SIR,-I should have some time since given you my

thanks for the favour you did me in sending me one of your books of Physico-Theological Discourses; which I now do, assuring you at the same time, that you have me very much at your command and service. I have perused most part of Rauwolff’s Voyage; which being only extant in High Dutch, and that understood by very few, I thought would do well in English, and so borrowed it from the Royal Society: and Capt. Hatton being desirous of it likewise, we put it into the hands of Mr. Staphorst, who has done it as you see, I think pretty clear; though the making it good language, and the notes, are left wholly to you. Some passages are not to be well translated, because of differing customs and proverbs; but I think so far as the natural history is concerned it may be under- stood. Authors make mention of a fourth part of this work printed the next year, viz. in 1583, which is very true; for some of the plants of Rauwolff mentioned by him, and described in this journal, were engraven in wood, and without any farther descriptions, only references in the margin to the descriptions in the pages of the journal, make up a fourth of the book, or part; which, with a new title- page, was what made the second edition; the book in pages , &c., without cuts , and of the first edition in 1582, being exactly the same as with the fourth part, and cuts, in 1583. The compiler of the Historia Lugdunensis at the latter end, in an Appendix, takes all these cuts, bating some few, which had been graved in the body of that history; and adding the descriptions out of the journal to the cuts, makes that Appendix which we have at the latter end of that work. I think this work a very curious one in several natural remarks, as in the spiral cutting of the poppy-heads, in making opium, &c. I have likewise solicited hard to get one Martin’s book of Greenland trans- lated and printed. It was done into order from his mouth by Martin Fogelius of Hamburgh, and there printed 1673 in 4to, with many cuts of birds, plants, &c., of those parts, and is not extant that I hear of in any language but High Dutch. I have seen two plants form the Cape of Good Hope; they are both coniferous trees, and one has a seed pappous, or rather feathered, like the seeds of Viorna; but with those seeds of feathers sticking between the scales , it makes one of the loveliest cones I ever beheld, if you add that the leaves are covered with the longest, whitest, and thickest tomentum I sever saw, being else like to the leaves of a willow. The other cone has its seed in the middle, and not between the scales, but at top of the cone together, and it also feathered.

Letter destination presumed as Black Notley as Ray’s location in his prior and letter and response to Sloane is Black Notley. Ray was also considered not to have left Black Notley after 1679.
