Summary:
Thanks for courtesies Smith showed to his pupil. Shall see that Smith's pupil [probably François Borone] is educated in drawing and Latin. [Fulgenzio] Vitman [(1728-1806)], professor of botany in Milan, is publishing a book of all known plants, his previous work on medicinal plants was derided by a French newspaper.
