Summary:
Will have to delay his paper on 'Begonia' as Smith is not in London for the first meeting of the Linnean Society and he needs to see the Linnaean Herbarium to settle 'Begonia capensis'. Also suspects that the large-leaved 'Begonia' in Linneaus the younger's herbarium is the 'Begonia grandeflora' of [Joseph von Nicolaus] Jacquin and 'Begonia macrophylla' of Lamarck. Studying [Antoine Laurent de] Jussieu's "Genera Plantarum", and will be necessary for Smith to study before publishing any more work.
[Smith has briefly noted his reply] Hopes to be in London for the first meeting but not in time to study 'Begonia', so will supply somthing else for the meeting, comments on errors on Lichens in volume two of Jacquin's ["Collectanea ad botanicam"].
