Summary:

Smith's pupil [François] Borone was to be taken into service of the Archduke, then to study botany at Pavia university, both of which would have left him unable to learn Latin as Smith desired, and is now to return to England instead. Had hoped to cross Smith's path next May at Mount Cenis but told by Borone that Smith is no longer making the journey. Heard that Smith's brother is fond of architecture, sends gift for him.
