Numbered observations on enclosed specimens: 1. native 'Agrostis arundinacea' [Smith annotation: "'Arundo neglecta' Ehrhart. Can it be Knapp's 'calamagrostis'?"]; 2. 'Rubus' like 'R. fruticosus' [Smith annotation: "I cannot make it out"]; 3. full grown seed vessels of 'Thlaspi hirtum' and what he calls 'T. incana'; 4. 'Galium uliginosum' [Smith annotation: "right (burnt the spec[ime]n)"]. Asks Goodenough to forward this letter to Dr [James Edward] Smith.

Encloses further specimens he hopes will be new to British flora. Numbered observations: 1. 'Galium witheringia' [Smith annotation: "right!"]; 2. 'Gnaphalium' like close to 'germanica', supposes 'Filago arvenses' of Withering [Smith annotation: "'germanicum'?"]; 3. variety of 'Achillea millefolium' [Smith annotation: "a var[iet]y of 'millefolium'"]; 4. a 'Daucus' like 'D. carota' [Smith annotation: "'Carota'?"]. Asks Goodenough to forward this letter to Dr [James Edward] Smith.

Numbered observations on enclosed plants: 1. two varities of true 'Hieracium paniculatum' of Linnaeus; 2. a 'Thalictrum' distinct from 'T. minus'; 3. a 'Hypericum' possible hybrid of 'H. hirsutum' and 'H. quadrangulum' [Smith annotation: "wrote March 20 1810, surely only 'hirsutum' in a wet soil"]. Asks Goodenough to forward this letter to Dr [James Edward] Smith, apologises for inconvenience to Goodenough.

Numbered observations on enclosed plants: 1. a 'Lemna' like 'L. trifolia'; 2. an 'Equisetum' with habit of 'E. variegatum'; 3. a 'Potamogeton' possibly 'P. graminosum'; 4. a 'Poa' probably not variety of 'P. nemoralis' [Goodenough annotation: "'Poa angustifolia'? S.C."]; 5. possible 'Festuca triflora'. Will be among the 'Hieraciums' next, when he will be able to "puzzel [sic] all the Botanists of England". Asks Goodenough to forward this letter to Dr [James Edward] Smith.
