Proposes to Adanson the free use of a property inherited from the Comte De Magnac at Chatronge [Chartronges is Chevalier’s spelling (1934, p. 99)], fifteen lieues from Paris. 30 In undated draft of reply, Adanson cites impossibility to accept proposal, his health denying him any kind of a voyage; must fulfill obligations and attend meetings of the Académie. Must not live more than 5 lieues at most from Paris, so as to tend his garden daily and to eat there after the Académie meetings. If the proposal would have fulfilled these requirements, he would have accepted it, but never as an outright gift. This letter originally was on top of the packet of this group, with the manuscripts of the Villeneuve property [cf. AD 274], of which the upper one gave its dimensions. These elements were misinterpreted by Chevalier (AD 33, p. 99), who stated that Adanson rented in “Chartronges” a farm with the dimensions of the Villeneuve property. Adanson never bought or rented any of the properties mentioned in these letters, but did seriously consider that at Villeneuve au Roy.
