Summary:
Notes on plants found on his summer tour of Cornwall: encloses seeds of 'Ligustrum cornubiensis', also has specimen of plant if desired; 'Genista pilosa', previously only known near Bury, growing amongst 'Erica vulgaris' on the soap rock near Lizard Point; 'Erica multiflora' on Goonhilly Downs near Helstone, universally with white flowers; offers specimens of soap rock.
Looks forward to personally paying his respects to Smith: his late brother [Sir John Cullum, 6th baronet (1733-1785)] often spoke of him and Lady Cullum says she is an old acquaintance.
