Thomas Furly Forster, London, to Sir James Edward Smith, Surry Street, Norwich, [Norfolk]

Summary

Thanks Smith for naming 'Cnicus forsteri' after him, but concerned there are too many 'foresteris' already. Smith's definition very good, answers his queries about the plant. His daughter, Harriet, has just married and is moving to Devon. Directions to his house for Smith's spring visit.
