Monsieur

Je passerai demain une partie de la matinée a la ville et je pense qu’il vaudroit mieux nous y reunir parceque etant près de mon herbier je pourrois repondre plus pertinemment a vos questions. je vous proposerai donc de venir de onze heures a midi Cour de St Pierre n. 110.

Si cela ne vous convenoit pas je serai ici dimanche toute la matinée

Je vous prie d’agreer Monsieur mes civilités empressées

Translation:

Dear Sir,

Tomorrow I will spend part of the morning in town and I think that it would be more worthwhile for us to meet there since it is closer to my herbarium I could respond more appropriately to your questions. therefore I will propose to you to come at half past eleven to Cour de St Pierre No. 110.

If that were not convenient for you I shall be here on Sunday throughout the morning

I beg you to accept Sir my kind regards
de Candolle

Laperriere
Friday evening
