104 Rue de Flore. Le Mans. (Sarthe). France.

See Le Monde des plantes, no. 24 (1 September 1893), p. 386.

The MS is a pre-paid French Carte Postale, postmarked twice Le Mans Sarthe 8E | 21 Juil 93 and once Singapore Au 16 93, addressed to Mr Ridley | Director of the Botanic Garden | Singapore | Straits Settlements | Establissements Detroits.

The note was not written by M but, presumably, by Hector Léveillé, and was probably written without M’s knowledge.
