| Title | Samuel Goodenough, Berners Street, London, to Sir James Edward Smith, Norwich, [Norfolk] |
| Description | Thanks for turkey. Linnean Society Council called, presumably to discuss [Thomas] Marsham's "wretched behaviour" [constant delays in repaying money he took from the Society]. Always thought Marsham would forsake the debt. [Alexander] Macleay [also spelt McLeay or M'Leay] and [Robert] Brown are in charge of the business but doubts their abilities. Goodenough thinks the actions of several leading members in screening Marsham has encouraged him to deceive the Society and set a bad example to other officers. Received Smith's "Compendium [florae Britannicae"]. Has Smith's copy of "Hortus Gramineus Woburnensis". |
