Summary:
Thanks for Smith's letter of 24 November and encloses root of "this famous plant". Autumn has been "delightful" in every respect. Believes the French paper Sir Joseph [Banks'] letter was in may have been the "decade Philosoplique". Congratulates Smith on acquisition of the herbarium. Asks if there is a plant in Sweden called "Okenberg", which he spells from Lactoenage's "Romende en Suede & Norwegn", which is said to be delicious but only grows in northern latitudes.
They are in good health. Had formed a plan to take [his daughter, Mariamne Johnes], to London and then France and Holland to visit his friend Liston this spring, but she has requested to delay it a year so as to improve herself and grow taller.
