Summary:
Delayed from executing Smith's wishes concerning [Francis] Buchanan, requests another "show-able" letter but unsure what use [Jacob] Bosanquet [a director of East India Company] can be to him seeing as Buchanan already has the sanction of the Governor-General [Gilbert Elliot-Murray-Kynynmound, 1st Earl of Minto (1751-1814)]. [James] Sowerby has had both 'Jasminum multiflorum' and 'Seseli gummiferum'. The sea-bathing at Worthing is very agreeable and picturesque.
