Summary:

Received Smith's letter of 28 January. Glad that Smith and everyone else agrees with the Council resolution regarding [Thomas] Marsham, though Marsham has requested an explanation of what "confessing judgement" means. Goodenough certain that Marsham will not repay the money unless he is compelled. Reviews the "Hortus Gramineus Woburnensis"; disappointed by the "celebrated Fiorin grass" and doubts whether it should be called variety of 'Agrostis stolonifera' as the book claims, but thinks it "dog cheap" at three guineas.
