Summary:
No longer able to visit Norwich. Sends Mrs [Lucy] Hardcastle's fungi drawings. Felt his "insignificance" when calling on Sir Joseph Banks and [Robert] Brown and finding both busy; will defer joining the Linnean Society until he has something other than zeal to recommend him; asks for botanical book recommendations.
