Summary:
Thanks for Smith's letter of 17 February [1791] and the trouble Smith took at auction of Paitoni's books, information on Harrison's herbarium, and botanical news. Arrangements for sending plates of L'Héritier's "Sertum Anglicum". Requests supplement of "Flora Pedemontana" and other botanical books. Pleased by reviews of his "Sketches of the progress of botany". His health "wretched" all winter.
