General
A reply to an Adanson letter not represented here. Advises him (1) to make more use of his shoes than of his pen (noting that he preaches to an “indocile” who refuses to listen); (2) to publish only that which he has totally mastered; and (3) to sleep enough. Reports that the first six volumes of his Oeuvres will soon be received by Adanson; is working on the next. Mentions Clason, Scottish philosopher, whom Adanson met during his visit in Genève.
