Found the 'Tilia' in "English Flora" which Smith was unable to find the fruit of, near Boughton House, [Kettering, Northamptonshire]; also found there 'Tilia parvifolia' growing to a large size, 'T. grandifolia' planted as much 'T. europaea', found fruit of what he thought 'T. corallina' of "Compendium florae Britannicae"; observations. Encloses seeds of a 'Rumex' gathered from a garden at Bannachra, Dumbartonshire, in 1823; observations on plant he grew from the seed, wonders if it is 'Rumex aquaticus', thinks it indigenous. Also encloses double variety of 'Arabis thaliana' from Staffordshire, possible 'Phascum crassinervium' of Schwegrichen; observations. Also sending 'Hypnum trifarium' gathered at Whittlesea Mere, [Huntingdonshire], which is excellent for botanising: 'Empetrum nigrum', 'Myrica gale', 'Andromeda polifolia', 'Liparis loeselii', 'Drosera anglica'. Notes on 'Liparia loeselii' and 'Malaxis paludosa'.
He is acquainted with Smith's friends Mrs [Lucy] Hardcastle of Derby and Dr [Francis] Boott.
Asks if the enclosed Lotus is 'Lotus decumbens'.
