| Title | William Roscoe, Liverpool, [Lancashire], to James Edward Smith, Norwich, [Norfolk] |
| Description | Satisfied with the terms for placing his son, James, with the farmer [Samuel] Taylor. Sent his other son, Robert, to a public school at Macclesfield, [Cheshire], after to the "great terror of all the family" he had a "violent fit of Chemistry". Sends banknotes as payment for the "two rare works of Columna" sold by Smith. Pleased bust of Smith is liked as he greatly values the original model given him by [George] Bullock [(1783-1818), sculptor]. Reminds Smith of his promise to visit Liverpool again, and hopes Smith's work on a herbarium for Roscoe is progressing. Thanks for election as FLS. Offered some "very interesting" medals by Mr Stevenson. |
