Summary:
Thanks for letter and packet of seeds from Russia. Received Smith's letter of 22 June concerning particulars of [Francis] Masson's [(1741-1805), Kew plant collector] life. Lists Masson's achievements and services to botany, explains how he procured Masson's journals and collections from his nephews, describes his character. [Charles] Konig and Sim's article in "Annals of Botany", believes there is enough material for a "Memoranda Massonium". Large numbers of people coming to see his nursery's collection of roses [Lee & Kennedy's Vineyard Nursery, Hammersmith].
