Summary:
Congratulates Smith on knighthood, hopes it will lead to what his friends have "so much at heart", Smith's succession to Cambridge botany chair. He has been rambling for most of the summer. Encountered delays in printing of second fasciculus of his "Theophrastus", and the great expense of printing meant he could not present any copies as gifts, even to Sir Joseph Banks, but will provide copies to friends at the trade price.
Found Smith's friend, Mrs Spragg [widow of Harvey Spragg], well.
