Summary:

At length has gathered a parcel of willows to send Smith; apologises that so many are similar but finds himself much in the dark about 'Salix cinera', 'S. aquatica', and 'S. oleifolia'; Smith and [William Fitt] Drake to keep any they want, but asks Smith to return those he has no duplicates of, marked with letters. Observes that the the varities of shrub willows are so distinct that it will be necessary to describe them even if not noticed by preceeding authors; difficulty of defining specimens without necessary books.

List of willows sent, numbered and lettered, with habitats and brief observations; Smith has annotated some of the entries.
