Summary:
Thanks for turkey. Glad to hear that [Richard Salisbury] will soon lose his title [presumably as vice-president of Linnean Society], "no one ought to mind what he says or writes more than when a puppy barks". Sending specimen of 'Fabricia', also has two new species of "'Leptasperum'?". Has basket of "Lambert nuts" for Smith, told by [James] Sowerby that he has the drawing of it, believes it a new species mentioned by [Peter Simon] Pallas in his last tour. Has a 'Eucalyptus', 'Melaleuca veridiflora', and 'Styphalia' from Amboyna, [Indonesia].
