To:
Smith, Sir James Edward
Summary:
Thanks Smith for list of seeds to be requested from Constantinople. Forwarded Smith's letter to Charlotte Smith; sorry she has met with such "ill usage, the abuse of the laws is the severest tyranny" but thinks her writings are "the first in the romance line".
Has had a blow to his credit. Praises gallantry of his countrymen. Heard this morning that the Dutch fleet are at sea, the east wind prevents the Downs fleet from sailing after them. Slow recovery of his daughter's health at Bath, [Somerset].
