Summary:
Will assist Smith's nephew, Edward Smith, as much as he can, though has never known so little business. Thanks for two prints of Smith's portraits. Enquires after Dawson and Mrs Turner's plant etchings. Hopes the Smiths will visit. Offers to send seeds of 'Verbascum virgatum'. Obliged for Smith's mention of him in 'Viola' article for Rees' ["Cyclopedia"], mentions 'V. pallum', 'V. fuciforme'. Working on English 'Rubus'; has found earlier botanists have confounded species. Believes [James] Sowerby could publish another 3 numbers of "English botany", excluding the cryptogamia.
