Summary:
As [John] Sibthorp's will enjoined the publication of 10 volumes [of "Flora Graeca"] with 100 plates in each, and there are only 900 drawings, asks whether the remaining drawings need to be made up from the specimens, and the half finished drawings completed. If so insists [Ferdinand Lucas] Bauer [(1760-1826), botanical artist] starts work on this as soon possible.
