Pleased to receive confirmation of value of specimens he sent Smith some time ago, via [Nathaniel] Kindersly [Smith's cousin]. Will receive much satisfaction from "corresponding with so distinguished a Botanist as Dr Smith". Pleased to see in "Critical Review" for January [1791] that Smith has decided to make a genus of 'Paulina asiatica'; it will be drawn and described as 'Scopolia aromatica' in his next collection to be sent to the Court of Directors [of East India Company] and Sir Joseph Banks.

Requests copy of anything Smith publishes.
