Summary:
Encloses copies of a chemical paper he previously alluded to. Thanks Smith for acquitting Schmeisser of the charges he imagined against him [see RelatedMaterial below]. His enjoyment of Smith's "Tour of the continent" and its account of their friend, [William] Younge; thinks Smith may have been more sparing of his "coronal abuse". Notes Smith's entomological studies must be novel to him. Pleased to hear Smith is working on a "Flora Britannica". Asks after English copies of Smith's paper on ferns for Turin Academy. Observed that air effects cause 'Peziza cyathoides' to "discharge its semen".
