Summary:
Received Smith's letter but regrets there is still a misunderstanding regarding appointment of [James] Sowerby as publisher [of "Flora Graeca"]; [Thomas] Platt [(d 1842), one of John Sibthorp's executors, supervised the publication of "Flora Graeca"] still disapproves of this on grounds that a booksellers shop is the most direct channel of communication between editor and public. Platt will engage with White to sell it; apologises to Sowerby and blames vice-chancellor [of Oxford University] for not bestowing management of the fund to them.
