Edinburgh 8th Octr 1793

Dear Sir.

Dr Garthshore will deliver to you some copies of Mr. John Lindsays Paper on Quassia Excelsa and Cinchona Brachycarpa with Plates;  It was compiled from Mr. Lindsays Mss leaving out a number of things not requisite or rather extraneous.

I have been Writing frequently to my Friends in the Northside of Jamaica for Plants of the Daphne Lagetto or Lace Bark.  At last my request is complied with. Mr. James Dickson at Bellfield Estate near Martha Brae got a person near the Maroon Town, to send several young Plants in a Nirwing State in a Box of Earth.  They are put on Board
