[Drafts or copies of three letters, the first undated, the second 18 September, and the third 11 October]

Asks Konig to inform writer of the "Monthly Magazine" Botanical Reports to redress injustice made against him in passage on [Richard] Salisbury's 'Erodendrum turbiniflorum'; explains his dispute with Salisbury and insists it is not botanical; his resolution not to respond to anything of Salisbury's. Report was also unjust to [Henry Charles] Andrews [(fl 1794-1830)]. Explains his misrepresented comment in former Report about ignorant travel writers. Notes on 'Tropaeolum pinnatum' of Andrews. Pleased to hear Konig is to revive "Annals of Botany" or similar work.

[18 September] short version of above letter.

[11 October] Satisfied with Konig's letter to botanical reporter of the "Monthly Magazine" but insists a statement appear clearing himself of any culpability. Sorry "Annals of Botany" is not to continue.
