Summary:
Invites Smith and his wife to visit in October. Envies Smith his tour, asks if Downton [Castle, Herefordshire, home of Richard Payne Knight (1751-1824) art collector] was on the route. Sends a plant for determination which she raised from seed in a hothouse [Smith has noted on second folio "The plant is 'Antidesma alexiteria', but with 2 stamina? If we hear nothing will wait on them Oct 19"]. Disapproves of the Smiths' move to Norwich, Norfolk.
