Paid 8 florins for Murray's "Frutribus" for Smith, which he will annotate for him at some point, and offers to send copies of his anatomical works. Thanks for parcel of plants and copy of "Reliquiae Rudbeckianae", as thanks for which he is including plates of a pregnant womb and parturient womb, and which are not to be found on sale. Requests third part of Barbut's "Genera vermium" and third of second book of [James] Bolton's [(1735-1799), botanist] "[History of] fungusses [growing about Halifax]".
