Has delivered a report on the botany of Burma to the East India Company, along with a set of specimens and loose duplicates, probably to be given to Sir Joseph Banks, hopes Banks will let Smith have duplicates. Has sent Smith a description and drawings of an animal and three plants with intention of inclusion in "Linnean Transactions". Asks Smith to look over and correct his "Enumeratio Plantarum" if the East India Company decide to publish any of it. Sending items to [William] Roxburgh. Arranging materials procured in Ava, Burma, for illustrating the geography of Eastern India. Has gathered materials on the religion and cosmogony of the Burma, Siamese and other eastern nations. Recommends if Smith and any friends have an interest in documents of the region see Sir John Murray who is returning to England with a collection of Burma, Siamese, Shan Palli and Kussay manuscripts.

Received Smith's letter of June 1796. Preparing a new packet of plants to send, including some better quality specimens of those previously sent. Discusses previously sent plants, including whether 'Acnida cannabina' should be renamed either 'Acnida celosioides' or 'Acnida amaranthoides'. Growing 'Orchideae' in his garden to eventually send on to Smith. Willing to send Smith any American plant but believes most are already in Kew Garden. Sending seed of 'Trollius ? americanus' and 'Pedicularis aspleniifolia'. Anxious for Smith's next set of observations. Asks if American trees are superficially described and specifically whether 'Juglans cinerea' L is the 'Juglans oblonga' of [Philip] Miller and if Linnaeus made 'J. oblonga' a variety of 'J. nigra'.

Her "very uncomfortable state of health" has caused her to neglect her friends but hopes to see Smith soon. Asked [John] White [(1757-1832), surgeon in New South Wales] to convey her regret at Smith's intention to move to Norwich, [Norfolk], and invites him to visit before he does so, though also accidently invited White when she would prefer Smith's conversation "without the company of a stranger". Belatedly congratulates Smith on his marriage.
