Summary:
Sends his passage on the biblical "lilies of the field" for Smith's approval before it is printed [for the annotated Bible prepared with Richard Mant known as "D'Oyly and Mant's Bible" (1814 and later editons)], asks if 'Amaryllis lutea' is the correct trivial name, read that Celsius believes the white common lily is the "lily of the fields".
