Lloyd apologizes for not writing sooner. He has not come across any curiosities. Lloyd has made some acquaintances in Dublin, but asks Sloane to make additional recommendations. He explains his misfortune in London the previous winter, centring around a false piece of silver which he believed to be real. Lloyd had apparently shown this silver to people at some coffeehouses and because he owed a debt to someone he was imprisoned for not paying it. The accuser possibly believed the precious metal was genuine.
Philip Lloyd was a physician.
