Summary:

Pleased his translations [of Linnaeus' Lapland travel journal, for Smith's "Lachesis Lapponica"] meet with Smith's approval; now that he is finished can say he never had such a difficult task; left as much of the Latin as possible for Smith to translate. Recommends Tuneld's "Geography of Sweden", if it has been translated into English, to assist in identifying Linnaeus' locations, and De la Motrage's "Voyage"; Linnaeus' bad spelling has made the location names "quite intelligible".

Account of folios submitted and forthcoming, and bill owing to him; justifies his charges, currently standing at £82 3s 4d.

Summary:

Glad to look over Smith's work for "Flora Graeca". Substanial description and explanation of alterations of Smith's Latin. Wishes joy to Smith's family on marriage of his sister, Fanny.

Also two double folios of Latin plant observations in Goodenough's hand. The date of these is uncertain but they appear to relate to "Flora Graeca".
