Thanks Smith for the duplicate book from Linnaean Library which now completes her works of Linnaeus, and for taking the trouble to imitate her book binding. Thanks for "ingenious little Tract" and melon seeds; will accept the plant when it can be sent. If Smith has a stove or greenhouse offers any of her plants. Will view Smith's collections when next in London. Compliments to [Edmund] Davall, sorry to hear of death of his father and hopes to see him before he leaves England.
