Summary:

Still unable to obtain growing plants of 'Gentiana filiformis'. Encloses 'Locus natalis'. Thanks for Smith's observations on 'Lichen', agrees that 'L. barbatus' and 'L. articulatus' do not differ specifically. Desires copy of Tode's "Fungi Mecklenburgenses" and Smith's "Tour of the Continent".

Summary:

Congratulates Smith on his lessons at Windsor [teaching the Queen and Princesses botany], which are exalting his "Fame & Honour". Thanks for Botany Bay plants, though he is becoming a "feeble amatuer in botany". Does not expect any publications from [Adam] Afzelius until he reaches Sweden. Asks after Cavanilles and L'Héritier. Pleased to hear that [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert has become Smith's neighbour and has recovered his health and spirits. [Thomas] Rackett's conchology work on his 1000 species collection.

Summary:

Thanks for Smith's letter of 28 [January 1793], apologises for being a "troublesome correspondent". Desires Smith to compare [Sir Joseph] Bank's copy of Hedwig's ["Descriptio et adumbratio microscopico-analytica muscorum" (1787-1797)] with the one Haslock has for sale, and if satisfactory to purchase it for him. Directions for sending this and plates of L'Héritier's "Sertum Anglicum". His account with Smith. Pleased to hear that L'Héritier is to now focus exclusively on botany. He has given up on the French since they stepped over their own borders, even though they were provoked to it.

Asks Smith to show Dr [Thomas] Rackett the Linnaean shells.

Summary:

Does not know how to ask to borrow Hedwig work from Sir Joseph Banks'; he has decided not to purchase it, being unwilling to commit to a work not yet completed. Thanks for sending rest of Gaertner.
