Happy to host the Smiths from 15 October; thanks them for calling on his family at Binfield, [Berkshire]. His health much better than it has been for a long time.

Anxiously awaiting another parcel of plates of "Flora Graeca" from Sowerby. Their planned route from Bristol to London, including a visit to [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert at Boyton, [Wiltshire], expects to be in London by 15 October. Suffering from rheumatism in his legs.
Looking forward to Smith's visit. Thanks for third volume of "English Flora"; wonders how many sheets of paper it took Smith considering [Thomas] Martyn wrote 20,000 sheets in compiling [Philip] Miller's "Gardener's Dictionary", hopes he is not overworking himself to finish it. Compliments to [Thomas Furly] and [Edward] Forster.
