Summary:
Sends what he has so far written for the press of Linnaeus' Lapland tour ["Lachesis Lappoinca, or a Tour in Lapland" (1811)], and a few sheets of the original to give an idea of the figures; proposes having these traced to be engraved, as he is in constant need of the originals, having only the translation of the Swedish. Anxious to have something fixed as his translator, Carl Troilius, is expecting his payment of £60 by end of the year.
Thanks for notice of the £50, arrangements for transferring. Laments death of his "old friend" Lady Rockingham [Mary Watson-Wentworth].
