Received Adanson’s report of 20 Feb. [1752], that the trees with blue coloring property are found only in the Pays de Riodonone, beyond Bissau. Advises that the Conseil Supérieur should order ships to Bissau for this wood, both for Adanson’s experiments and to send to France. The Compagnie is pleased with Adanson’s experiments noting that one sample is the true indigo. Adanson is to repeat the experiments on a large scale. The production cost and profit margin are to be determined, and the Conseil Supérieur is to cooperate fully. If Adanson’s health deteriorates further while in Senegal, the Compagnie will allow him return to France in 1753 with his collections for the Jardin Royal. Bears ten signatures of the “Syndics et Directeurs,” including David and Godeheu d’Igoville.
