Will send plants Smith has requested through Mr Malanotte, plus any other plants desired from "Flora Pedemontana", for a stated price. Prevented from publishing fascicules by conditions in the "Clinica", but with [Carlo] Allioni's consent will publish "Nomenclatura Stirpium Pedemontana", and asks Smith to check new plants against Linnaeus's herbarium. Requests rules of Linnean Society following his election as a correspondening member. Asks for a selection of exotic seeds for two amateur botanist friends of his, a complete series of lichens and seeds of 'Rheum rhabarbarum', 'Rheum palmatum', 'Rheum ribes', 'Rheum tataricum' and 'Rheum hybridum'. The Agrarian Society he is a member of has been appointed a Royal Society by the King. Has received the specimen of 'Lichen cucullatus' Smith found at Mont Cenis, Savoy, but believes it may be 'Lichen rivularis'.

Address of the merchant Smith is to send seeds to Turin through and additional request for seeds of 'Hedysarum gyrans'. Publishing a refutation of an attack by Dr Dalguiri.

Thanks Smith for seeds, some of which have been planted along with seeds Smith intended for [Giovanni Antonio] Scopoli before his death. Scopoli's third fasciculus has been published. A dissertation by Linnaeus published by Smith is being translated into Italian. Enjoyed reading Smith's inaugural [Linnean] dissertation. Collecting the plants on Smith's list and enquires if there are any more. [Carlo] Allioni and [Rodrigo de] Sousa [Coutinho] send their respects. A minor disagreement with Daquin has required Bellardi to add some botanical observations to "Flora Pedemontana". Sending seeds of 'Phalaris savilianensis' which he believes to be different from 'Phalaris phleoides'.

Has sent plants requested by Smith, list attached [third page]. Unable to send required number of specimens of 'Potentilla valderia' so has substituted them for 'Aldrovanda vesiculosa', otherwise there are 55 specimens per individual plant bar 20 specimens of 'Juncus spicatus'. Financial details. Will send flowers of 'Dryas octopetala' in the summer. Also sending a box of plants from [Carlo] Allioni and a box of rare plants from Bellardi which he would like Smith to compare along with the 'Arenariae' mentioned in last letter. Sends specimen and seeds of 'Panicum dactylon' and 'Poa gerardi' of "Flora Pedemontana" he believes may belong to the genus 'Festuca'. [Fulgenzio] Vitman's ["Summa plantarum"]. Asks Smith to send seeds for a friend. Wishes to be informed on Linnean Society news and would be happy to meet [Edmund] Davall.

Thanks Smith for parcel containing letters patent of Linnean Society and drawing of 'Smithia sensitiva'. Honoured to be accepted as an FMLS. Thanks Smith for his promise of helping to increase his herbarium and his garden. Asks again for advice on plants of an uncertain origin so he can finish work on a book of rare plants. Believes that Linnaeus has attributed the same kind of seed to 'Anthoscanthus' and 'Festuca', Bellardi convinced they belong to 'Festuca'. Explains doubts over Smith's claim that 'Phalaris savilianensis' of Linnaeus' herbarium will be identical to 'Phalaris bulbosa' with comparison of plates from [Jacques] Barrelier. [Dominique] Villars doubts his 'Arenaria saxatilis' is the same as described by Linnaeus. Has identified a 'Silene saxifraga' Smith sent as 'Cucubalus rupestris' of [Carlo] Allioni's "Auctarium ad Flora Pedemontana". Discussion of 'Saxifraga cespitosa', 'Saxifraga cotyledon', 'Saxifraga caesia', 'Saxifraga aizoon'. Has specimens of 'Agrostemma flos-jovis', 'Salix reticulata' and 'Dryas octopetala' to send to Smith when desired. Details of the publishing schedule for his fasciculi. Has received package from Mr Viborg of Copenhagen, asks Smith to send regards. Publication of Italian version of Smith's dissertation delayed.

Sending specimens of 'Trifolium alpinum', 'Salix reticulata', 'Dryas octopetala' and 'Agrostemma flos-jovis' via Mr Boroni. Has included "Phisico-Medica" dissertation by Mr Botta, seeds, and his list of desiderata [extant, see RelatedMaterial below]. Enquires price of Hudson's "Flora Anglica" and Dillenius "Historia muscorum".

Sent to Smith via Mr Boroni. Four columns of plants per page, some marked by Smith.

Received from Smith academic dissertations by Linnaeus, plants for his herbarium and seeds, which have been planted in [Rodrigo de] Sousa [Coutinho's] garden, suggests in future Smith sends seeds rather than dried specimens to Sousa. Planning to write to [Edmund] Davall. Hopes to see a new edition of Smith's "Vegetabilium System", a bookseller in Turin would like every book on botany or natural history Smith has published or intends to publish. Satisfied with Smith's observations on the plants of uncertain classification, has consulted Scheuchzer's "Agrostographiae Helveticae Prodromus", is certain that the 'Phalaris' in question is the one described by Linnaeus and not 'Radice perenni', on which he is currently working on a memoir of for the Academy of Sciences. The 'Arenaria' he sent with the name of 'Saxatilis vill' is a perennial. Discussion of 'Arenaria zanoni', 'Arenaria flaccida', 'Arenaria capillacea', 'Arenaria striata'. Asks for advice on 'Allium nigrum', 'Potentilla verna', 'Androsace lactea', 'Ranunculus cuneifolium', 'Campanula rupestris', 'Trifolium aureum', 'Spartium [...]', 'Asperula saxatilis', 'Asperula cynanchica', 'Festuca decidua', 'Radix perennis', 'Polypodium [pessimalte]', 'Anthemis altissima', all of which Smith has received from Bellardi, this list is underlined in pencil.

Introduces Mr Istria, a medical doctor interested in natural history and botany.

Toscanelli has received books sent by Smith. [Rodrigo] de Sousa [Coutinho] pleased with Smith's works and sends respects. Smith's views largely concurrent with his own on plants of uncertain classification, although disagrees on 'Cynanchum muscicapum', 'Carduus erisithales' in [Carlo] Allioni's opinion 'Carduus rivularis'. Habitat for 'Festuca flavescens'. Doubts on 'Allium nigrum', more likely to be 'Allium narcissi' or 'Allium alpinum'. Asks Smith to compare 'Androsacea lactea' with 'Androsacea septentrionalis'. Would like Smith's opinion on his naming of 'Saxifraga elongata'. Confirmation of 'Aira vallesiaca'. Has named 'Ranunculus curvatu' 'Ranunculus lacerus'. Asks for a transcript of pages from "Hortus Kewensis" on 'Primula' to assist in his work on 'Primula emarginata' and 'Saxifraga lingulata', and pages from another work. Has received specimen of 'Pilularia' and seeds of 'Cornucopiae cucullatum'. Smith elected to the Academy of Sciences. Requests rare seeds from Smith for a friend, a copy of "Flora Lapponica", and information on the new edition of "Systema Vegetabilium".

Sends his "Appendix ad Floram Pedemontanam". Thanks Smith for the "Linnean Transactions" sent to himself and [Rodrigo] de Sousa [Coutinho]. Academy of Sciences looking forward to receiving works from Smith.

Present state of affairs make correspondence difficult. [Rodrigo] de Sousa [Coutinho] anxious to receive any works by Smith that are not listed [in letter] with those he already owns, alongside Aiton's "Hotus Kewensis", Linnaeus' "Flora Lapponica", and [James] Dickson's ["Plantarum cryptogamicarum Britanniae"].
