Summary:
Reckons Smith amongst his "oldest and most valued friends"; about to marry; their new address, invites Smith to visit but hopes to see him in London before then; vouches for Smith's belief of botany as a "medium of communication with interesting and cultivated minds", it being instrumental in bringing him and his fiancée together. Recently called on [William] Roscoe who showed him "beautiful specimens" of his forthcoming work on 'Scitamineae'; believes Roscoe could have acquired more subscribers by making it more known.
