Summary:
Invites Smith to inspect the East India seeds Mr Molesworth is sending her and asks him to bring Molesworth so she can thank him for his "repeated remembrance of her plants". Her 'Portlandia' with 18 very large flowers and 22 buds, the plant still flourishes and nearly outgrowing the glass only recently raised over it. Offers the Botany Bay bird Smith said was unknown, to be figured.
