Planning to study the herbariums in Oxford before coming to London. Has heard nothing of the Linnean Society taking rooms at the late Sir Joseph Banks' home. Will send Cullum a coloured copy of his "Grammar of Botany".

Pleased to hear Nichols can so easily make an index for ["A selection of the correspondence of Linnaeus" (1821)], leaves it him as his the index for the former volume of letters he published was so "peculiarly excellent".

Acknowledges that the agreement between his niece and the Brandreths was as complete as possible [apparently for a situation as governess] but was unaware of recent developments; he had been commissioned to find a situation for her and was dissatisfied by "the Paris scheme". Upset by attack on his moral principles [crossed out].
