Summary:
Relates information Smith apparently requested on Count C. Leggiadri Galloni in connection to a marriage. Uncertainty about the fate of Parma, with rumours that the French shall give it to the Spanish in exchange for money. Relates how he came to sell his "Villetia" to Carlo di Negro [(1769-1857) poet] and divide his collection of plants between his town and country residences. Plans to send a catalogue of these soon in order to generate exchanges. Has recently exchanged seeds with [Antonio José] Cavanilles and is keen to find a London correspondent after apparent failure of engaging Aiton [possibly John Townsend Aiton (1777-1851)]. Relates health of various friends.
