I'd really appreciate a translation or a tip about what kind of English-Language translation(?) dictionary I would use to figure this out on my own. I'd appreciate a translation too, and could still use the dictionary tip, for other parts of this manuscript.
Thanks for taking a look.

hey, thanks!
It's from a letter I found on-line, written to Carolus Linnaeus, sometime in the late 1700's I think. He had pointed out that some rare specimen of the hyrda was in fact a pasted together animal-object that was pasted up to like the mythical hydra. Apparently the author of this letter was with him when Linnaeus noted the fraud.
