Summary:
Has delayed sending the books Smith requested as he has heard that books are being stopped at Calais until the signing of the "definitive treaty" [Treaty of Amiens, signed 25 March 1802, which temporarily ended hostilities between the French Republic and the United Kingdom. It lasted until 18 May 1803 when Britain declared war on France]. On arrival to Paris delivered Smith's letters to [Andre] Thouin and [Aubin-Louis] Millin, news of both including evening meetings at Millin's house. Has seen most of the "curiosities of Paris" including statues and pictures in the Louvre and lists some of the works, and a hundred pictures by Rubens pillaged from churches in the Low Countries and now in Paris.
