Sends manuscript of his work ["Index plantarum" (1807)] for Smith's opinion. Comments on current "deranged" state of plant names, thanks to alterations by Willdenow and others. Difficulties procuring Willdenow's "Species plantarum"; would like to see "Flora Graeca"; admires Smith's "Exotic botany". List of Willdenow plant names.
Sends corrected and enlarged volume [of his "Index Plantarum"]; uncertain how to proceed with publication.
Arrangement [of his "Index plantarum" (1807)]. States that should he die before Smith his manuscripts and any part of his botanical library that Smith does not have will be his.
