Remarks on Smith's visit to Liverpool; compliments [James] Currie's talents and desires introduction to [William] Roscoe. Happy to offer Smith his assistance with "Flora Graeca" if needed. Experimenting with rearing turkeys in Lincolnshire, asks Mrs Smith to send a Norfolk turkey once a fortnight for comparison. Lady Banks would like a large box of Valentine cakes.
