Barwick thanks Sloane for the advice regarding his daughter. He asks Sloane to collect what is owed him from Mr More for tending to the Duchess of Albemarle. When Barwick saw More at the coffeehouse More told him he would pay him the next time they met. Barwick has not been paid, but he does not want to visit More, for if he goes to town he will be expected to pay his tailor’s bill ‘& some other debts unpaid’. Barwick cannot maintain a practice in London ‘upon 3 or 4 Patients only’. Mr Woodward ‘gives his humble service’ to Sloane.

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]).
