Summary:
Thanks Smith for his "obliging attention" and assures him "her sentiments have always corresponded with those of the song" [Smith has annotated at foot of letter: "[William] Cowper's [(1731-1800)] poem on the slave trade ["The Negro's Lament]"]. Sorry that she has to leave London just as Smith's botanical lectures begin.
