Summary:
Asks Smith to write to White [publisher] to confirm the amount he is due for his translation [of Linnaeus' Lapland travel journal, for Smith's "Lachesis Lapponica"].
[Smith has drafted his reply on verso of second folio]: has agreed with White to pay Troilius £60 for the translation; explains his deal with White and the need to ascertain the value of Troilius' translation in comparison to others and the fact that the final translation was less complete through Troilius not knowing Latin. Asks Troilius to suggest suitable amount over £60 to compensate for this trouble.
