Aved is willing to purchase the Villeneuve property for Adanson in his own name, to be reimbursed by Adanson later. Will introduce Adanson to his beautiful sister [-in-law] and seeks Adanson’s advice on how to improve Aved’s garden. Will show him a book of Wallerius Essais chimiques d’agriculture. Asks for 300 or 400 asparagus “pattes” and seed of Cardons. No draft of reply. Adanson instead went to Chaumont [AD 366] on 3 March 1767 to see the Villeneuve property, returning on the 9th.
