Summary:
At the end of their tour of Wales, "nowhere human industry adds so much to the attractions of fine rivers & fine mountains". Sending "the most beautiful little fungus I ever saw"[Smith has annotated underneath: "'Ag[aricus] androsaceus' JES"] found by river Wye. Hopes [James] Mean [(fl 1810s-1820s) gardener to Sir Abraham Hume at Wormleybury] has sent Smith the 'Uvaria'. Hope to visit [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert on their journey home.
