James Edward Smith, 12 Great Marlborough Street, London, to Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle

Summary

He has been visiting [Richard] Salisbury. Inspected [John] Sibthorp's collections with [Jonas] Dryander and Sir Joseph Banks, praises their value. Returns L'Héritier's 'Sida'; his 'S. paniculata' is correct, has not yet found 'S. arborea' in young Linnaeus' herbarium, also 'S. americana', his 'S. vicinoides', 'S. aphyllum', and 'S. cistiflora' seem new. Has not had any plants from Frazer. Welcomes any papers by L'Héritier for "Linnean Transactions".
