Thomas Jenkinson Woodward, Bungay, [Suffolk], to James Edward Smith, 14 Paradise Row, Chelsea, [London]

Summary

Details his preparations for visit to London to view the Linnaean collections; asks for a list of duplicate books. Discusses possible works that Smith could base on the collections, including a "Flora Britannica" and a selection of Linnaeus' correspondence. Supposes the new edition of "Systema vegetibilium" not as useful as the former, which is now scarce.
