'Nichols read the date as 14 May 1702, and said that the addressee was Archdeacon Battely, but there is no addressee on the letter. As for the date, as Mackenzie says, it ‘is partly mutilated, so that it is impossible to tell the precise year in which it was written’: but 14 October seems certain, and the year is 170x, with 1700 as the most likely reading. Smyth read it as ‘2 October 1700’, but he does not seem reliable. Mackenzie, followed by the BL catalogue, identified the writer as John Finch, but the initial looks like an ‘H’, and the handwriting and idiosyncratic spelling are exactly the same as is found in Heneage Finch’s contemporary letter to William Courten about Athenian coins. From the general approach and content, I would think that Courten was also the intended receipient of this letter. (If so, that would confirm the date as 1700, rather than 1702, although there is, of course, the danger of circularity.)' (Burnett 2020b, p. 1031 n. 224) (en)  +

'Hugh Pagan speculates that it is tempting to read Bramston for Branston and to identify the individual concerned as Dr George Bramston (c. 1650–1710), Master of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, who had died in 1710, and, interestingly, was Sir Robert Abdy’s father-in-law. But this is pure surmise.' (Burnett 2020b, p. 1632 n. 11) (en)  +

Burnett 2020b, p. 200: 'Jan van Wely was a jeweller in Amsterdam; the reference to him, the date, ‘his honor’ and ‘increase of profit’ all suggest some related transaction regarding Gorlaeus’s coins. And is ‘his honor’ the same person as the ‘Lord Baron’ [in [[Abraham van Goorle - Jacob Cool - 1601-4-13|Gorlaeus' letter to Cole]]]? If so, could the ‘gentleman’ of Gorlaeus’s letter indeed be Cotton?' (en)  +

'The letter is catalogued as being from Sutherland to Hans Sloane, and Cowan follows the attribution. But there is no addressee, and it is hard to imagine Sutherland writing in this way to Sloane, since in July 1702, after Courten’s death, [[James Sutherland - Hans Sloane - 1702-07-07|he wrote to Sloane to introduce himself]]. It ‘fits’ much better with his correspondence with Courten, although we do not seem to have any letter of 28th August, to which Sutherland refers at the beginning of the letter.'
