Summary:

Thinks the Linnean Society Council ought to have immediately tried to get security from [Thomas] Marsham for his debts. Pleased to hear Sir Joseph Banks is recovering. Nothing to say regarding Cambridge [his campaign for botany professorship], the heads of houses consulting lawyers about mode of election. Wishes somebody would oblige Sir J G to take the name "Horn", so that he would then be called "Justly Green-Horn" [Sir Justly Watson Green, 2nd baronet (1755-1826)], "totally ignorant & incompetent". Has seen that Macleay's office is abolished.
