Thanks for Smith's letter of 8 March [1813] and "valuable packet of plants". Offers to procure Smith any Northumberland or Durham plants not currently in Smith's herbarium, now that "English botany" is drawing to a close. Encloses specimen of 'Utricularia intermedia' [extant] for English habitat for plant, 'Utricularia vulgaris' grows with it; 'Rosa rubella' found on sea coast of South Shields, Durham.
Requests specimen of 'Senecio sylvatica'; plant so named in his catalogue as common in this neighbourhood is 'Senecio lividus' of Willdenow and "English botany". Asks if Smith received specimens of 'Saxifraga hirculus' and 'Sagina maritima'.
Specimen, labelled, "'Utricularia intermedia'"; references to 'U. minor' and 'U. vulgaris minor'.
