Eduard Sandifort, Lugduni Batavorum [Leiden, Netherlands], to James Edward Smith, 12 Great Marlborough Street, London

Summary

Asks after the parcel of Smith's works, which has still not arrived, as the friend he ordered them for is constantly asking after them. Still awaiting a letter from Sir Joseph Banks. Books sent and wanted.

[Smith has briefly noted his reply] details of manner in which he sent the parcel; hopes to soon send "Linnean Transactions" vol 2; [Sir Joseph Banks] will write soon; has asked a friend to notice Sandifort's work ["Museum anatomicum"] in the "Monthly Review", which he never writes in himself, to avoid quarrels.
