Their university's "Museum anatomicum" has finally come off the press; sending copies to Smith, British Museum, and Sir Joseph Banks. Requests copies of all Smith's works and copies of first two volumes of "Linnean Transactions", which he hopes will settle the exchange between them.

Has recommended Smith to Schuurmans Steckhoven, whose grandfather was director of Vienna Botanic Gardens, who is seeking a London correspondent to exchange plants with. Requests English version of "Icones pictae" for a friend in Amsterdam who does not understand the Latin.

Hopes his last letter reached Smith, in which he requested Smith send parcel of his books through Holstein, the Rotterdam booksellers; still has not received them. Asks that the book he sent [Sir Joseph] Banks be mentioned in the English journals ["Museum anatomicum"].

Requests copy of [Peter] Collinson's "History and Antiquities of Somerset" (1792) and to be informed of any similar works.

Asks after the parcel of Smith's works, which has still not arrived, as the friend he ordered them for is constantly asking after them. Still awaiting a letter from Sir Joseph Banks. Books sent and wanted.

[Smith has briefly noted his reply] details of manner in which he sent the parcel; hopes to soon send "Linnean Transactions" vol 2; [Sir Joseph Banks] will write soon; has asked a friend to notice Sandifort's work ["Museum anatomicum"] in the "Monthly Review", which he never writes in himself, to avoid quarrels.
