The Linnean Society charter has passed "the ordeal" of the Attorney and Solicitor General and is now waiting to pass the Great Seal; "the trouble which has attended it is inconceivable". Warns Smith to be prepared for a summons to London, for whenever the charter passes the Great Seal the Society will consist of no more than the 15 people named on it, and it will be necessary to elect the others as soon as possible after, and the bye-laws need framing.

Thanks for civilities Smith has shown his son in Norwich. Proposes Sir Thomas Gage as a FLS, he has collected all the scarce plants of the Lake District. [John] Gerard [(1545-1612), herbalist] says several species of 'Helleborine' grow in woods at Dunmow, Essex, and Clare, Suffolk; Cullum thinks the 'Serapis' he found between the two does not answer to any in "English Botany" and is between 'Serapis latifolia' and 'Serapis palustris' but he failed to gather a specimen. Had not heard of [William] Sole's death until seeing the advertisement letting his garden and Hortus Siccus. Hopes to attend Linnean Society anniversary meeting as the King has not signed the charter unsure whether he is welcome as a member anymore, apologises for his inactive approach to botany. Invites the Smiths to stay at Bury on their way either to or from London.
Sending descriptions of 'Polypodium aculeatum' and 'P. lobatum', to clear up the synonyms [extant, 3 pp].
