Summary:

Thanks for turkey. Has had 'Limosella diandra' from [Charles] Konig and [William] Roxburgh but no drawing of it. Does not think it is the 'Gratiola pusilla' of [Carl Ludwig von] Willdenow. Happy at the improvement in Smith's health. Asks Smith's opinion of author Peter [Peregrine] Lille.

Asks Smith to thank Dr [Henry] Reeve for his thesis as due to long illness has been unable to do it himself, and to let Reeve know his library is open to him any time. Remarks on Smith's visit to Liverpool; compliments [James] Currie's talents and desires introduction to [William] Roscoe. Happy to offer Smith his assistance with "Flora Graeca" if needed. Experimenting with rearing turkeys in Lincolnshire, asks Mrs Smith to send a Norfolk turkey once a fortnight for comparison. Lady Banks would like a large box of Valentine cakes.

Summary:

Would have recommended Don [James Donn] to be gardener of Kensington Gardens but George III appointed William [Townsend] Aiton, gardener of Kew, instead. An immense acquisition of living plants from China collected by a gardener from Kew, which along with the Cayenne plants of "last winter" must make Kew "far superior" to any other botanic garden. Kew has also received a vast collection of seeds from the unknown parts of New Holland [Western Australia], and are growing plants from seed from the same place sent last winter. Peter, Brown and Bauer are left behind in Sydney, New South Wales.
