Received packet of Smith's publications and collection of New Holland [Australian] plants, particularly pleased with "Icones pictae plantarum" and "Tour on the Continent", would like to translate latter into German. Pleased with [John Blachford] who is staying with him after Smith's introducing him, teaching him botany whilst [Johann Friedrich] Blumenbach teaches him "chineralogy", hopes he will become "a Lightfoot for Ireland". Has heard from Dr Harrison that Smith is engaged in a new "Systema Vegetibilum". Shall send Smith his "Plant. Veg. Subterran." as soon as it appears. Thanks for election as FMLS.
