Summary:
Congratulates Smith on his marriage. He is now a grandfather. Asks Smith to state which of his works he requires; presumes it will no more than his natural history works. Shortly leaving for a visit to Kent, hopes to see Smith. Sends uncoloured copy of his "Indian Zoology". His broken knee-cap never healed but he can ride and walk with ease, except going downstairs.
