Summary:
His English is suffering due to time he has to dedicate to St George's bank, almost believes it better to give his place in the Linnean Society to Dr Canestri of the Turin Academy who would be better able to supply papers. Believes if Smith becomes a physician in London it will be to the detriment of botany and science. Has had a small picture of 'Linnaea' that appears in a bust of Linnaeus copied in marble.
