Has sent a box of plants from the Italian Alps. Will shortly print the "Auctarium ad floram Pedem". Asks Smith to forward a business commission.

Business matters and sale of books in London.

Thanks Smith for executing business commissions in London and gives instructions for further arrangements with Mr Elmesly, bookseller. Believes that it is only through Smith that the public can expect a good reprinting of the "Systema Vegatabilium". Requests "American seeds", will send seeds from the Alps in return.

Grateful for election as a member of the Linnean Society. Will soon send copies of an "Auctarium" published the previous summer, one for Royal Society, one for Sir Joseph Banks, one for Smith, one for Linnean Society and twelve to be sold.

Smith will receive a copy each of his two new works, one on miliary fever and the other entitled "Conspectus presentaneae morborum conditionis".

Smith has been elected as a foreign member of the Turin Academy. Looking forward to receiving dried plants promised by Smith.

Thanks for dried plants sent by Smith. Will send Smith whatever he thinks may be of interest from his own collection. Expresses the Turin Academy's delight at having acquired Smith as a foreign member.
