Summary:
Received Smith's letter of 29 August [1804]; will wait for payment for his translation [of Linnaeus' Lapland travel journal, for Smith's "Lachesis Lapponica"] until after Smith has heard from the booksellers. Sorry Smith has so much Latin left to translate. Defends his non-correction of the geographical words, having followed the same spelling as in the original, but offers to look over them before printing.
[Smith has briefly annotated his repsonse on second folio:] White [publisher] will pay Troilius his translation fees but requests a little indulgence with the money.
