Philippe Durand, Madrid, [Spain], to James Edward Smith

Summary

Hopes Smith received the small collection of plants from the area around Tangier he sent September [1802]. He is in Madrid to assist [Antonio José] Cavanilles and other botanists before returning to France next March, where he intends to dedicate himself to botany and natural history. Claims Smith's promise in 1796 of sending New Holland and British plants. Would like to maintain a correspondence with Smith on his return to France.
