Summary:

Apologises for being unable to procure seeds of 'Fuchsia' and 'Dodecatheon'. Communicates death of [Francis] Masson [(1741-1805), Kew plant collector] in Montreal, Canada. Believes Masson was "hard dealt by in being exposed to the bitter cold of Canada in the decline of life, after twenty five years service in hot climates". Hopes Smith will be Masson's champion when the time comes for a memorial to him.
