Thanks for turkey and gift of one of his works, compliments Smith on this and his writing on the Garden of Eden for [Abraham] Rees' "Cyclopedia". Received a walking stick of 'Mimosa longifolia' from Lord Blandford [George Spencer-Churchill], also received two new specimens of 'Coniferae'[?]. Would like to write on Whiteknights [Lord Blandford's home and garden in Reading, Berkshire] as Stephen Western wrote on Paris. [George] Jackson has been copying the manuscripts and observations in Peter [Collinson]'s [(1694-1768)] collections at Beckenham Park, asks Smith to review it and advise on how best to publish it. Lord Valentia's [George Annesley] "Travels" will begin printing next week.
