Summary:
Apologises for delay in sending L'Héritier's works, "but the fault is not in me but in the French revolution, which has turned the head of our friend [...] & made him turn tail upon us botanists". Other European publications, including by Cavanilles and Labillardière. Sends "Flora Lapponica" and Swartz' "Prodromus".
Has just been at Windsor to look at the Queen's [Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1744-1818)] herbarium, formerly [John] Lightfoot's. Hopes Pulteney will come to London this spring.
