James Gordon writes that Daniel Solander has given him a letter from Linnaeus [this letter has not come down to us].
Gordon says that the whole world must be impressed by Linnaeus’s hard work.
He has sent Linnaeus 1 Azalea fl. odorata, 1 Emsonia [Amsonia] and 1 Oenothera pensylvanica.
P. S. The plants are in a matted basket and shipped on board with Captain Fisher [presumably Johan J. Fischer] for Stockholm.
