Summary:
Sorry Smith is unlikely to be in London as early as expected on account of ill health. Will not attend Linnean Society anniversary dinner on 24 [May] as the state of his health compels him to avoid "as much as possible hot & crowded rooms", but will attend the meeting to be admitted as FLS.
Will communicate what Smith says of 'Trifolium macrorrhizum' to [George] Sinclair.
