Small pinholes in the margin. He apologizes for his thoughtlessness and sends him a money order for 45,000 francs. "You make me hope that we will see Adrien [his son the botanist Adrien de Jussieu (1797-1853)] today if he finds a place in the car. But he doesn't know the day and time of his arrival. "He will find here his friend Ampère [the great physicist André-Marie Ampère (1775-1836)] who has come to spend a few days with us, and he will also see Mde Rozet who has her places reserved for next Monday []". He discusses his business with the notary of Jouarre, and specifies: "I confess that I will be very happy to see Paris again, the King's Garden and our friends, among whom you have a good place []".
