          The whole will be directed
 to you by M [Monsieur] Borg, Chancelier du
 Consulat de france.


 M [Monsieur] Lenormand, botanist, whose
 collections are perhaps more numerous
 than those of the french museum, had
 written to you to propose you some
 exchanges, I know not if you have
 received his letters, for he wrote to me
 that he had written you several.
 if you had, dear sir, a mind of
 answering to him, you can subscribe
 to "M. René le Normand [Lenormand], avocat & naturaliste
 à Vire. (Calvados.) france.)


 Mine is M Ed. Jardin, S. [Sous] commissaire 
 de marine, 22, rue de la Poudrière, Cherbourg.


 May I hope to receive a letter from
 you, it would be very agreeable, I
 have your photography on my chimney
 & I  cannot look as it without remembering
