SAINT-PIERRE Bernardin de (1737-1814) [AF 1803, 27e f].
L.A.S. "l'intendant du jardin national des plantes et de son cabinet d'histoire naturelle De Saint Pierre", "au Jardin national des plantes" 30 November 1792, to the citizen de CORMEILLE, man of law; ¾ page in-4, address.

He asks him to give some pieces received from M. LA BILLARDIERE against receipt: "It is necessary that I join them to the other titles of the National Garden of plants of which I am the depositary. If these pieces were still necessary for the trial of Mr. de BUFFON, it would be convenient that the citizen of Cormeille have copies made. I will however willingly wait a little more time to give him all the facilities which can be reconciled with my duties.

A manuscript (period copy, unfinished), Histoire de Paul et Virginie (notebook in-4) is attached.
