General
Letter to Adanson, then in Caen, containing instructions for his travel in western France, giving explicit information on the locations of some plants, fossils, and animals, and mentioning 41 persons he may visit. Mentions that he has not yet received anything from the printer [of Familles des plantes]. Bears signs of wear, probably in this voyage by Adanson. One of the relatively few letters known of this botanist.
