Linnaeus has received Domenico Vandelli’s letter of 30 March 1761{L2887} but he has not had time to answer earlier.
Linnaeus is eagerly waiting for the treatise on the hot springs [Linnaeus refers to the Tractatus de thermis Agri-Patavini] and the descriptions of the Ulva species.
He asks Vandelli to send him news from his work around Modena.
Padua is 48 days better off than Uppsala in the spring and the same number of days in the autumn, which means that summer in Padua is three months longer than that in Uppsala.
