Summary:

Heard from [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert that Smith is unwell, hopes he can still attend Linnean Society anniversary meeting. The royal couple [newly wed Princess Charlotte (1796-1817), daughter of George IV, and Prince Leopold (1790-1865), later Leopold I of Belgium] were meant to have moved into Camelford House on Thursday but it was not ready; Goodenough thinks it an unsuitable home for them and that Lord Grenville oversold it [William Wyndham Grenville, 1st Baron Grenville (1759-1834), prime minister 1806-1807]. Sorry to hear of the death of [Thomas] Johnes. Informed by Lady and [Sarah Sophia] Banks [(1744-1818), collector of antiquarian items] that Sir Joseph is better, they talked about Prince Leopold's visit to Spring Grove [Banks' Middlesex country house]. [Thomas] Marsham has repaid another £100, and will have the remaining £200 for when a new Treasurer is appointed.
