Summary:

Her hot-house and conservatory in "great prosperity"; she must leave without seeing 'Blackaea trinerva', 'Eugenia jambos', and "more curious things" flower. Her gardener, Muns, will send Smith anything he desires. Received 'Geranium tricolar' from the Queen [Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1744-1818)]. Sorry to hear of Smith's loss from Sierra Leone but glad the colony goes on well [Adam Afzelius was stationed there as botanist to the Sierra Leone Company]. Fears [Richard] Salisbury has forgotten his promise to give her a plant of 'Sterculia balanghus'.
