Summary:
Thanks the "highly useful book", which will renew her knowledge of English botany [probably "English Flora"]; she will endeavour to give her protege, Miss Lawton, a taste for botany. Her aspiration after fame grows stronger in "the evening" of her life; determined to "attain celebrity" as a writer.
