Summary:
[John] Bradbury, an old FLS who has been travelling in north America for some time and is now in heavy arrears, has asked to compound with 10 guineas in full; advises Council to grant this indulgence "as his name is honourable to us".
Asks if Sir [Justly Watson] Green's [2nd baronet, (1755-1826)] paper on 'Phascum' is a continuation of any former paper on the genus; "greatly doubts his knowledge of such very difficult matters". Hopes to send a paper of his own by 21 January.
