Sending two copies of his Botanic pamphlets and some of the plates of Cupani's "Panphyton siculum", touched up by Bonanno. Invites Smith to contribute to the "Sicilian Flora". Refrained from sending specimens as they would have been accompanied by a request for "elucidation". Asks whether the fourth volume of "Flora Britannica" has been published yet.

[Copy or draft] Thanks Bernardi for pamphlets and Cupani book. Would like specimens of the rare plants described in Bernardi's works, especially the 'Orchideae'. Happy to help with his botanical correspondence. Sending an [unnamed] English book, the introudction of which translated into Italian may encourage the study of botany in Italy. Hoping to finish the fourth volume of "Flora Britannica" by next winter. Believes Bernardi's 'Allium album' is 'Allium lacteum' of "Flora Graeca".

Apologises for not having written sooner. Sending Sicilian plants, two maniples and copies of his published pamphlets via William Swainson. Asks whether in future he could send his manuscripts, with sketches and illustrations, to be inserted into ["Linnean Transactions"], so as to save printing costs.
