General
Reports that he waited in vain for an answer from the owner of the Villeneuve property. Discusses other properties in the neighborhood. Makes plans for their living and gardening together either in Reclancourt, Harlicourt or elsewhere for the coming summer. All, from his wife to the cat, love Adanson but he needs solitude for himself to finish his great work.
