Summary:
Congratulates Smith on his marriage. [James] Crowe has lent him his herbarium, but there are "very few good things" as he was so liberal in giving to his friends and unenthusiastic about collecting, though the cryptogamics are more valuable, mostly from [James] Dickson. Visited by [Henry] Bryant, who gave him 'Lichen miniatus', and who has a number of cryptogamic plants for Smith. No longer has any objections to joining the Linnean Society.
