Summary:

Thanks for fourth volume of "English Flora". Intends to stay in London till the Linnean Society anniversary meeting as the meetings of other societies and London dining hours are too late. Death of Daniel Moore FLS of Lincoln's Inn. Astonished by sudden disappearance of Mr Simmons of Paddington House, wonders if his flight was caused by ruinous speculation; recalls that Sir William Adams [(1783-1827)] the oculist committed suicide after being ruined by speculating in Mexican mines. Mrs Cullum possibly return to England with his son this summer.

A note at the end states that this letter was erroneously dated Monday 17 April 1828; it should have been written 17 March 1828.
