Thanks Smith for "the very agreeable" description of the genus 'Monachorum' and praises the purity of the language. The very harsh winter has prevented him from botanising.

Criticism of writing capabilities of [James] Dickson and his intention to "publishing something new in the Cryptogamian way".
