Summary:
Thanks for Smith's letter; glad Smith determined 'Lotus angustifolius', which was his original name for it, has cultivated it for years. Discusses 'Cnicus heteroclitus'; small sketch in ink of root. Lists desiderata taken from "Flora Britannica" of plants he would like to cultivate.
Will assist Smith's nephew, Edward Smith, any way he can, though business currently slow. Studying 'Rubus', list of species he has found here.
