Summary:
Remonstrates with Smith for settling in Norwich, Norfolk. Fears for his isolation from the scientific community and its consequences on his leadership of the Linnean Society. Tries to convince Smith to reverse his intentions of spending three months in London and nine in Norwich. Requests specimens of 'Hyperium dubrium' and 'Hyperium quadragulum' from Hafod, Cardiganshire. Thanks for introduction to Sir Thomas Frankland but wishes it had occured before finishing his [and Thomas Woodward's] paper '[Observations on the British] Fucus'. Sent drawing of 'F jubatus' to [James] Sowerby and [Alexander Mac]leay.
