Summary:

Pleased the Linnaean collections answer Smith's expectations. A "Flora Britannica" needed to correct errors amongst English botanists and the false Linnaean names. Unable to accept Smith's invitation to Chelsea.

[William] Hudson has found 'Corrigiola littoralis' on coast of Devon. Lord Bute has begun printing his [botanical] work, and has presented a copy to the Queen [Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1744-1818)].
