This four-page letter, written in French by Alexander von Humboldt, is probably to his French publisher N. Maze. In the letter, Humboldt talks about his financial problems trying to publish Nova genera et species plantarum. He details problems he is having with the German government and also gives a breakdown of the publication expenses.
