Summary:
Thanks for Pulteney's letter of 30 January [1794]. Happy his work is approved by so "intelligent & candid a judge"; his sentiments in that work have been generally approved, and sells well. Intends to name a genus after Pulteney. Will send more New Holland plants in due course. Has heard nothing of L'Héritier since the war. Glad [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert is so well, the young man with him [Francesco Borone] will say much of Sierra Leone.
