Summary:
Forwarding packet for Smith from [Olof] Swartz. Encloses a catalogue of Northumberland and Durham plants; vouches for authenticity of habitats should Smith wish to quote them. Sent a rose growing in local hedges to [James] Sowerby last summer, uncertain whether it was worth drawing; observations. Asks Smith's opinion of numbered specimens in Swartz' packet.
