Summary:
Afraid they have printed something of [Samuel Latham] Mitchill's paper on "New York fishes" in new volume of "Linnean Transactions", which was not to be printed on account of its appearance in an American journal; a Dr Francis will inform Macleay of it as Sir Joseph Banks'. [Francis] Buchanan, currently an ALS, wishes to become a FLS, as does [John] Murray of Stranraer, [Scotland], who wrote a paper on "vegetable poisons". Recommends Dr Burke of Lowestoft, [Suffolk], who is to visit the Transport Office.
