Summary:
[Short note only, written on scrap of paper]
Requests Sowerby to draw 'Alsine media' to figure with 'Cerastium aquaticum'. Wishes Sowerby to acquire wild specimens of 'Lychnis viscaria' from [John] Mackay [(1772-1802), employed at Dickson nursery, Edinburgh] of Edinburgh, for which he is postponing 'Lychnis flos cuculi'.
