Sends note of all the money paid for [Edmund] Davall's herbarium sale [extant]. Encloses what he presumes is a catalogue of Davall's library, expected to arrive at Calais shortly. Thanks for herrings.

Bill of expenses incurred in acquisition of Davall's herbarium.

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].

Surprised to hear from [Carl] Troilius that the amount owing to him is £82 10s, instead of £60 as Smith mentioned [translation fees for "Lachesis Lapponica"]; Troilius has left the matter entirely in Smith's hands.

Has waited in vain for coloured copy of appendix to [Aylmer Bourke] Lambert's "Pinus" to send Smith. Returning manuscript of Linnaeus' Lapland tour with copies of all the cuts executed by Austin, who has noted the charge for each already done and those remaining.
