Worthy Sr: I received your letter, and should be glad if I could be so happy as to contribute any thing towards the resolving that mighty Controversy (as you call it) amongst Botonoyrapheus in order to which I have made the most diligent search, in that Ditch from whence the Captain brought a leaf of that plant, & which your self thought you saw it, but could find nothing there but water Parsnip, & water Hemlock, which makes me think that that which you suppose to be Henanthe was one of those, I could not be mistaken in thiss, for though there may be some kind of lileniss in ye leaf setneen water parsnip, & water Dropwort, yet there is none at all in ye tops, or flowers. for this water parsnip was in ye top life to an = ordinary garden parsnip. I took these plants up by ye roots, & found them to be no other than water parsnips, & water = Hemlocks, the staffs of which are a thick hollow trunk which arises from ye bottom of ye water, from whose [iomts?] there are many strings which fasten it to the mud, but could discern no bulbous, strumous, or protuberating roots, or tendons with = oval pindents, at ye ends of them, or any thing life them. This is all ye account that I can give you of ye plant. I hope I may be excused for not finding that which you say ye most learned virtuosoes will not allow to have any being in ye province of Nature. And should I have found it, it would have been as hard to have found any = Medicinal quality, or use it hath in ye [monol?] [Probinse?] of Physick, but I forget my self, not considering that Virtuosoes [routent] themselves in speculation only begging your pardon for this freeness I rest. your friend & servant to his power Mr: Dickenson

Mr. Dickenson writes to Dr. Plucknet to inform him of his findings regarding the identification of a specific plant that Dr. Plucknet previously consulted him on. Dickenson informs Plucknet that he was unable to match the particular plant specimen to any plants in the location where Plucknet originally saw it. Dickenson informs Plucknet that the only plants he located in the area were water parsnips and water hemlocks. Dickenson apologies for failing to provide Plucknet with a positive identification on the plant.

[fol. 217] Sr Upminster Sep: 10 1706 I sent the Carpenter last week to view your Repairs, who saith that there are wanting 6 pairs of Rafters, 2 Purloyns, one Bean, 2 Quarter-Beams, & a pair of Iron Dogs to lye that old Building to the Dwellinh-House. He saith also that he is suspitious of the one of the House- Posts, it being much rotted wth lying open so lonf to the weather, but thinks it may as yet serve for a while. He judgeth that the Timber for these uses will some to between 20 and 30d, but saith that the Lops of your Trees are so good, that you need be at little or no charges in buying. I am there- fore of opinion that your best way is to write again to Culverwell by the Peny-Post, & order him to lop a tree or two for the Rafters, Purloyns, or, & to get it all done wth speed because of the short days & winter ap- proaching; & let him know that you intend shortly to see it your self, or at least make him be- lieve so; wch will engage his care to repair well, & prevent his lopping more than will be necessary. But indeed I would persuade you to go, & view, & or- Der your self what shall be done: but send me word 3 or 4 days before you come I should be from home. I have been as good an husband of your 3d as I could. The Carpenter had 2d for his days work, & 6d for his expenses, & I lent him an Horse, so yt 6d remaines for you. I give you a great many thanks for your advice for my Wife, & so doth she too. I thank God the Symptoms of the Small-Pox are gone, & I hope she is like to escape it.

[fol. 4] Sr Black Notley Aprill 13. 1700. Upon reading Your Letter of the 6th instant I could not but be moved with indignation against those vile Rogues, who when they failed in their attempt of breaking open Your house were so malicious as to set it on fire. I congratulate with you your deliverance from so great a danger, & hum- bly thank God on your behalf. The scurrilous Pamphlet entitled the Transactioneer I did al- ways believe to be no better then you represent it. And for Dr Plukenet I look upon him as an ill natured man, & liable to mistakes how ever confident & slef-conceited he may be, that I say nothing of his unskilfulnesse & want of exactnesse in ye Latine & Greek tongues. His arrogance & overweening opinion of himself & his performances appears by that hemistichium prefixt to his Phytography, Nil nifi pramia desunt. I doo not urge the sending me your Magellane-straits plants I am in no hast for them, but can well wait your leisure I did not expect so great & rich an Addiction to my Supplemt of History as You tell me Dr Sherard intends generously to con- tribute in wch respect it is well my undertakers were so dila- tory in beginning upon it. It will be greatly for ye advantage of the Work, if ever it come to be published. I should be very glad to see Dr Sherard, & to have some conference with him though loath I am He should put himself to ye trouble & expence of such a journey for my sake. Please to give my service to him, & tell him so much. Your intended Present of Sugar doth so far exceed my merit or expectation, that I may justly be ashamed to accept it. We are so far obliged already for largesses of this & other kinds, that we want ability to make you any amends. All We can doe is to retain a gracefull memory of your kindnesse, & to owne the obli- gation. My Wife & Daughters return their very humble servi- ces & thanks to you Dr Tourneforts Institutions may be of use to me as to the Me- thodus Plantaru[m] emendata, wch I have ready for the Presse both for the correcting of some mistakes wch possibly I may have committed, & the enlarging of it by now observations I have done whem I have told you that I am Sr Your very much obliged friend & humble servant John Ray

Though three bleedings and more frequent purgings were on several occasions made use of. The want of signs of concoction either in the urine or by sweats defend ye use of the cortex, till such time as ye fever appeared under ye true symptoms of a regular intermittent one. The medicine though taken every two hours in the intermissions succeeded not till ye fourth day on ye first night after suppressing ye paroxysm.

Hitherto had been forborne flesh, wine or mault drink without the … appearance of low spirits from that Regimen or ye Evacuations. He has since fed temperately on white flesh once 1 day with 2 or 3 glasses of wine. The gouty payns have frequently infested him since that time and have prevented ye use of his legs.
