My matters in Jama [Jamaica] are at this time settled at 300£ per annum. But in those worst of times, theres no depending solely on Remittances. I must therefore think of settling in Practice in case of accidents.
You may hear of some Situation that would suit me at a moderate distance from the metropolis. How does my worthy Friend Dr Solander do? Has Dr Fordyce tried the Cinchona again? if so he has told you the Result.
Dr Solander will be so good as get Prints of the Cinchona & Geoffroya from the R S [Royal Society] Secretary. I would be glad of 100 Each. Mr Henderson Mercht in Mitre Court Milk Street Londn will pay the Expence of these, and the Six Guineas deposit money should I be balloted an [F:p2:s?].
Be so good as inclose me som Franks addressed to yourself, Dr Solander and Dr Fothergill, acquaint this last I shall soon perform the task he assigned me.
Have you seen M Ponto's Herbarium from the Windward & ceded Islands, had he any thing new? He mentioned the magnolia and a new species of Cinchona, I doubt my Collection anticipated him with respect to what you wanted.
