Thanks for Macleay's letter of 30 August [1822], sorry to not see him at Norwich, [Norfolk], this year. Enjoying his visit to Mr and Mrs Corrie, "she is one of the deepest botanists" he knows. His lectures "fully & brilliantly attended", hopes he is a "good milch cow to the Institution". Condolences on death of Macleay's sister-in-law, remarks on death of Mrs [Charlotte] Lynn [daughter of Samuel Goodenough, died suddenly].
