TitleSamuel Goodenough, Berners Street, [London], to Sir James Edward Smith
DescriptionHad to delay forwarding Smith's letter to [Francis] Boott. [Alexander] Macleay [also spelt McLeay or M'Leay] confident that [Thomas] Marsham will repay the money but [Robert] Brown not sure, concern that the affair will bring the Linnean Society into "great discredit". Brown thinks [Edward] Rudge has exaggerated the business. [William Elford] Leach did not at first state that Marsham had paid £300 for the lease of the Society's Gerard Street house. Marsham's debt found to be £700, not the £600 originally stated by others, including [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert.
