Summary:

As thanks for the "great pleasure" she derived from Smith's botanical lecture sends him the enclosed work, [probably her "A poetical introduction to the study of botany" (1801)], which was written "with the hope of facilitating to young minds the acquisition of that elegant service".

Summary:

Offers to return item he is copying, should Smith require it. [James] Sowerby's inaccuracies with 'Stewartia' were caused by his preoccupation with sons' illnesses; transcribes 'Stewartia' description from "Flore Boreali-Americana". [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert well, though his 'Renealmia' only flowered once with him. Congratulates Smith on his discovery of "the long lost 'Globba'", and pleased to hear he is studying the "dark things" in 'Scitamineae'. Lord Blandford [George Spencer-Churchill] sent Sowerby a new 'Metrosideros' and the grand 'Hydrangea quercifolia', latter imported by Lyons who also imported 'Arabis hispida'.

Since returning to England [William] Roxburgh has changed name of 'Renealmia calcaratum' to 'R. spicatum' in his manuscript, assigning no reason, but offended that [Henry Charles] Andrews [(fl 1794-1830)] has published it.

Summary:

Hopes Smith received the small collection of plants from the area around Tangier he sent September [1802]. He is in Madrid to assist [Antonio José] Cavanilles and other botanists before returning to France next March, where he intends to dedicate himself to botany and natural history. Claims Smith's promise in 1796 of sending New Holland and British plants. Would like to maintain a correspondence with Smith on his return to France.

Summary:

Sent [Dawson] Turner and [James] Sowerby specimens of new 'Carex' in flower. Gathered plants of new 'Carex' in 1797 from Cronkley Mountain, but thinks [James] Dickson should still be credited as its discoverer so as not to set a precedent; concedes that Mr Oliver discovered 'Gentiana verna' some years before he did. Proposes name 'C. rupta' for new 'Carex', small sketch in ink of arillus; [William] Brunton thinks it a 'Schoenus'.

Confirms the lichens he sent Smith are 'Lichen tartarius' and 'L. turneri'; observations on these and other lichens he sent Smith. List of cryptogamic and 'Carex' desiderata [some items have been ticked by Smith].
