Summary:

Reports general concern at Smith's illness at the Linnean dinner. Thanks for seeds, fears he will fail to raise them with his present gardener, asks if Smith knows anyone who will successfully cultivate them. Political news: government still without a complete administration, seems likely it will consist of the old ministers but with some new and able men.
