Summary:
Glad Smith sent the two volumes of "Flora [Britannica]" and the "Compendium" to Sir Joseph Bank's house. Grateful to Smith for wanting to publish a paper in the "Transactions" of the Lisbon Academy but warns that it will not receive very wide notice. Outraged that [Jacques Julien Houton de] la Billardière has renamed Smith's genus 'Correa' to 'Mazeutoxeron'.
