General
Writes that he failed to see Adanson at former address and did not want to interrupt him in his garden. Would have rented an empty room at Palais Royal no. 44 if the earlier proposal to live as neighbors had been possible, but notes that Adanson prefers absolute solitude. Has not had word from M. de Calonne for a conference. Will certainly mention Adanson to de Calonne and tell him of fame it will bring to his ministry if it will publish Adanson’s interesting and numerous manuscripts. A list of subscribers should be made.
