Transcription

Jacmin wrote to Mr Heucher to see whether the package reached him. Heucher was in ‘Varsovie et non a Dresden’. The mistake extended Jacmin’s stay in Berlin. Jacmin received a beaver specimen (morceau de Castor) found near the Brandenburg quay. It is just as fine as those sold in Canada. He also has a piece of cobalt, an hourglass, and amber for Sloane if he would like them. Jacmin will copy the list of the 700 characteristics of plants (les 700 caracteres de plantes) for Sloane. L. J. Jacmin was a physician.
