To:
Smith, Sir James Edward
Summary:
Grateful for election as FMLS. Is sending two specimens of each species of 'Arenaria' as described by [Carlo] Allioni in his "Flora" but warns of inaccuracies caused by Allioni's poor sight. Agrees with Smith that the lichen sent to [Carlo Antonio Ludovico] Bellardi is separate but close to 'nivalis' ['rivularis'?]. Forwarded Smith's letter to Bellardi who is touched by the support against Dr de Chambery, "a true charlatan". Asks to be remembered to Mr Harbord and [Eberhard August Wilhelm von ?] Zimmerman. Looking forward to receiving the works Smith promised him.
