Summary:

Thanks Smith for his kindess during his time in England. Introduces Mr Becker, apothecary to the King of Denmark and grandson "to the celebrated father of chemistry in the last century", asks that he be showed Linnaean collections. Pleased with Smith's "second fasciculus" ["Icones pictae plantarum rariorum"], hopes that Mr Monnet [Jean-Baptiste Lamarck] will not insult Smith further although some of Lamarck's acquaintances have told Jacquin he cannot understand Smith's preface but has found nobody who agrees with him. [Charles Louis] L'Héritier, [Pierre Auguste] Broussonet, [François] Cels and others wish to establish a Parisian Linnean Society in imitation of Smith's in London; news.
