Summary:
Returned from Matlock, [Derbyshire], 4 days ago in "perfect health". Read over Pulteney's Linnean Society paper with "great pleasure". Intends to go into the country for 6 weeks in a day or two. Sending second number of his "Spicilegium botanicum"; account of money owing. Still awaiting the letterpress for L'Héritier's plates, though their "excellence [...] disarms one's anger". Sorry to hear that [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert is still an invalid. About to go to Windsor to arrange [John] Lightfoot's herbarium and occasionally instruct the Queen [Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz (1744-1818)] in botany. L'Héritier has written for Gaertner's second volume for them.
