Reports sending the first three volumes of his Histoire des plantes de Lorraine. Received some plates and sketches, lacking some details recommended, from de Ferht. Reports receiving an annual grant from the city of Nancy in support of his work and for treating the poor with simples. Asks again to become a membre correspondant of the Académie.
