Apologises for not having written since they departed at Mont Cenis, Savoy. [Carlo Antonio Ludovico] Bellardi has been informed of Smith's new Lichen and intends to look into it next year. Shall also give Bellardi the information Smith gave on 'Epilobium gelidum'.

Grateful for election as FMLS. Is sending two specimens of each species of 'Arenaria' as described by [Carlo] Allioni in his "Flora" but warns of inaccuracies caused by Allioni's poor sight. Agrees with Smith that the lichen sent to [Carlo Antonio Ludovico] Bellardi is separate but close to 'nivalis' ['rivularis'?]. Forwarded Smith's letter to Bellardi who is touched by the support against Dr de Chambery, "a true charlatan". Asks to be remembered to Mr Harbord and [Eberhard August Wilhelm von ?] Zimmerman. Looking forward to receiving the works Smith promised him.

Received Smith's last letter of 16 August from L'Abbé Correa. Awaiting arrival of copies of Smith's "Tour of the Continent" and "Lectures on Botany", has ordered his work on the "Insects of Georgia" and [George Leonard] Staunton's book, has already read passages on Madeira, Prague and Rio de Janeiro. [Carlo Antonio Ludovico] Bellardi pursuing his botanical work with a passion. Hopes Smith will visit Portugal one winter.
