Pleased to hear Nichols can so easily make an index for ["A selection of the correspondence of Linnaeus" (1821)], leaves it him as his the index for the former volume of letters he published was so "peculiarly excellent".
Returns remaining 10 volumes of Miss Currer's collection of correspondence, and volumes of [Emanuel Mendez] da Costa's [(1717-1791), naturalist] correspondence, and a few other letters.
Saw Mr Longman on his return through London yesterday, who expressed "great pleasure" in publishing the "Correspondence", and regretted that his house had formerly declined taking on the work. Offers his interest in this edition to Nichols for £100 and 150 copies, as it is the kind of book to make presents and exchanges with.
[Draft of Nichols' reply:] Declines Smith's offer.
