Summary:

Thanks for Swiss plants. Condolences on death of Smith's "particular friend", [James] Crowe. Requests that when Smith and [Dawson] Turner again examine plants bearing an external resemblance to known species that they do not "believe [their] eyes" without a more accurate examination.
[James] Dickson "pledges his reputation as a Cryptogamist" that the 'Dicranum' he [Rudge] sent is a new species and has nothing to do with 'D. varium'; characters of each; encloses two specimens examined by Dickson under microscope. Last summer found 'D. scottianum' on rocks near Tunbridge Wells, [Kent].
[Aylmer Bourke] Lambert has "perfectly recovered his health & spirits", and Sir Joseph Banks is better; he has not had a regular fit of gout but slight attacks in leg, knee, and arm, with an erisipalous appearance.
