Sir James Edward Smith, 13 Chapel Place, Cavendish Square, [London], to John Nichols, 4 Red Lion Passage, Fleet Street, [London]

Summary

Has brought letters of [Peter] Collinson [(1694-1768)] and [Johann] Dillenius to Linnaeus for Nichols' inspection; approves of plan for making a separate publication of scientific letters. Hopes Nichols will be able to procure Miss Currer's [John] Ray letters. Uncertain how long he will remain in London, "the town air is always poison to me".
