Sending specimens of several lichens and rare mosses.
Still awaiting receipt of Australasian lichens and plants sent by Smith. Thanks for Smith's letter of 28 December 1801 and information on lichens. Publication of his new lichen work delayed until 1803. Sent Smith specimens via [Olof] Swartz. Concerned to hear of dangerous affliction to Smith's eyes.
