Summary:

Thanks for admittance as Associate Member of the Linnean Society. Will send drawings he intends to make of unknown and rare insects and birds in his collections. Offers to procure pictures of Piedmont insects unknown to Linnaeus but mentioned by [Johan Christian] Fabricius and [Otto Friedrich] Muller [(1730-1784) Danish naturalist] for Smith's intended new edition of a Linnaeus work. [Baron d'Avise de Charvensod] wishes to exchange minerals with Smith. Sends compliments to [Thomas] Marsham and agrees with Smith that his work on "Entomologia Britannica" would be easier if he starts with 'Coleoptera'.
