| Title | Samuel Goodenough to Sir James Edward Smith |
| Description | Clarifies that [James] Bicheno never meant to refuse the Linnean Society Secretaryship. Cannot believe the report that [Edward] Barnard is to be appointed as he is too close to [Joseph] Sabine. Informed by [Alexander] Macleay [also spelt McLeay or M'Leay] that [Thomas] Marsham escaped repaying "his shameful fraud" in part by Macleay's [also spelt McLeay or M'Leay] ordering of Councils so late at night that Goodenough could not attend. Goodenough affronted by Sabine's request to subscribe to Macleay's portrait and a summons to the Society to arrange for it, as he has no authority to do so. Thinks Barnard will do as Sabine directs him. |
