General
Promises Adanson plants of his herbarium. Asks for fresh seeds for a small botanic garden. Adds list of desiderata, as de Jussieu or the gardener of the Jardin du Roi promised to send seeds in exchange for those he gave them during his short sojourn in Paris. An annotated draft of Adanson’s reply, dated “6 avril 1771,” sent with a packet of seeds from de Jussieu, to which Adanson added other seeds. A list is added of the plants Adanson received.
