Andrew Fountaine, 23 Harley Street, Cavendish Square, [London], to Sir James Edward Smith, Norwich, Norfolk

Summary

His family "harrassed" by sickness. Regretted missing [William] Roscoe whilst he was in Norwich, and was unaware until Smith's letter of Roscoe's botany interests. Thinks that Dawson Turner would be "highly gratified" to examine Smith's two chests of "botanical treasures" from the East Indies. Looks forward to hope of visiting Smith in Norwich.
