Summary:
Hopes to send Smith plates needed to make up his set of "[General] synopsis of birds", requests copy of Smith's "Tour of the continent" and "English botany". Does not dare venture beyond indigenous plants. Offers to forward letters for Smith to Dr Reich, Willdenow, and [Johann Christian Daniel von] Schreber [(1739-1810), physician and botanist].
