Transcription

Pajot forwards a package from De Jussieu and sends his best. Louis Leon Pajot (1678-1753) was a Parisian physician. He collected natural and mechanical curiosities, which attracted many visitors including Peter the Great. He made contributions to the Memoires de l’Academie des Sciences and was of member of the said organization (Gaspard Monge, Jean-Dominique Cassini, Pierre Bertholon, and Jean-Henri Hassenfratz, ‘Encyclopedie methodique ou par ordre de matieres: dictionnaire de physique, Volume 4’ (Hotel de Thou, 1822), 231).
