Summary:
Wishes to join Linnean Society. Received Smith's "[Plantarum] icones" and "Reliquiae rudbeckianae" and [Johann] Gmelin's edition of "Systema [naturae]". Asks if [William] Withering and [John] Stokes' "Botanical Arrangement" is correct to designate "the Cornish heath" as new. Asks if any copies of [Olof] Swartz's "Prodromus Plant. Amer." are available in London.
