George Don, Forfar, [Forfarshire], to Samuel Goodenough, Rose Castle, Cumberland

Numbered observations on enclosed plants: 1. two varities of true 'Hieracium paniculatum' of Linnaeus; 2. a 'Thalictrum' distinct from 'T. minus'; 3. a 'Hypericum' possible hybrid of 'H. hirsutum' and 'H. quadrangulum' [Smith annotation: "wrote March 20 1810, surely only 'hirsutum' in a wet soil"]. Asks Goodenough to forward this letter to Dr [James Edward] Smith, apologises for inconvenience to Goodenough
