Summary:

Unable to supply Smith with a 'Anthericum serotinum' specimen. Requests Smith's genera of ferns. Has never found an 'Arenaria laricifolia'. Asks about the plan of "English Botany" after having been informed of the true authorship of Sowerby's "English Botany" [Smith's work on this was initially uncredited]. Asks which plants Smith would like sent from Wales, advises him to view list of rare Anglesey and Caenarvonshire plants in [Thomas] Martyn's "Plantae Cantabrigiensis". Prefers to have them drawn and sent with dried specimens, although this is impracticable as [Thomas] Pennant's draughtsman, [Moses Griffith], is 50 miles away. Delayed sending items to Smith.
