Comments on the observations in two of JG's papers.
Sorry to hear of Smith's illness. Asks that when Smith is at his friend Mr Forster's [probably Edward Forster] to compare his collection of willows against the Woburn catalogue. Invites Smith visit Woburn [Abbey, Bedfordshire] whilst he is in London. Pleased to hear that Smith is going to sit to "that admirable artist", [Francis Leggatt] Chantrey [(1781-1841), sculptor] for his bust.
