Summary:

Thanks Smith for attention to his paper [probably on 'Juncus', see RelatedMaterial]. Thanks Smith for offer to interpose with [Edward] Donovan [(1768-1837), zoologist] who has accused Davies of falsity in a dispute over [Thomas] Pennant's "British Zoology", as well as criticising Samuel Goodenough's paper for "Linnean Transactions" on the "Porbeagle Shark". Sending a package containing: ten species of 'Salix' for identification; 'Schoenus rufus' and 'Festuca uniglumis' for Smith's friends; a 'Oenanthe' that differs from 'Oenanthe pimpinelloides'; some specimens of 'Potamogeton' previously mentioned; and two foreign ferns.
