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.

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.
