General
Reports having just visited M. de Calonne for a position for himself, and asked him to remember the merited scientist [e.g., Adanson] who is neither used to nor has the time for soliciting and wasting his time in the “anti-chambres.” Asks if he may stay with Adanson when in Paris, will pay for it and both will be perfectly free, but could have meals together, to relieve him from the tedium Adanson so often experiences.
