From: Smith, Sir James Edward
Sent from: Norwich, Norfolk
To: Macleay, Alexander
Summary:

Returns [William Jackson] Hooker's paper, which he and [Dawson] Turner have both looked over.
Never had much hope for the war before, but from the first of the Spanish resistance he has always hoped; cares not who manages the country as long as they do it well, but concedes the Ministry have conducted themselves with "singular wisdom & discretion", and the King's [George III (1738-1820)] speech "was in the same style". Returns his paper on 'Hookeria' and a paper on snakes not worth publishing.
