James Edward Smith, Lowestoft, [Suffolk], to Charles Troilius, 12 Cannon Street, London

Summary

Pleased Troilius has finished translation [of Linnaeus' Lapland travel journal, for Smith's "Lachesis Lapponica"], hopes to prepare it for publication over the winter; finding the translation of the Latin troublesome. Doubts receiving even £80 from a bookseller for it but does not mean to deprive Troilius of his due. Relied on Troilius to correct the geographical locations in the work, but will insert a disclaimer in the preface.
