Hopes complaint in Smith's face is better. [Lewis Weston] Dillwyn [(1778-1855), naturalist] moving to Wales, believes it will delay his 'Conferva' book. Asks for publication date of fungi part of Smith's "Flora [Britannica]", as he intends to write his own remarks. Compliments [James] Sowerby's figures [in "Coloured figures of English fungi.."], letter-press not as good and he has figured same individual under different appearances several times. Recommends fungi books for Smith to borrow from Sowerby, including Butch, Bolton, [Christiaan Hendrik] Persoon, Bulliard, and Schaeffer.

"Flora Londinensis" bought by Samuel Curtis, of the estate of William Curtis, his intentions unclear.

Sends observations and remarks on first two volumes of [James Sowerby's] "English Fungi" [extant]; intends to do same for remainder. Asks after Sowerby's "[British] Mineralology", jokes that he will be able to pave a path from Walthamstow to Norwich with the plates. Contemplating publication of new edition of "Plantae Woodfordienses" once Smith has finished "Flora Britannica".
