Summary:
Congratulates Smith on his lessons at Windsor [teaching the Queen and Princesses botany], which are exalting his "Fame & Honour". Thanks for Botany Bay plants, though he is becoming a "feeble amatuer in botany". Does not expect any publications from [Adam] Afzelius until he reaches Sweden. Asks after Cavanilles and L'Héritier. Pleased to hear that [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert has become Smith's neighbour and has recovered his health and spirits. [Thomas] Rackett's conchology work on his 1000 species collection.
