To his friend, the botanist Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin (1727-1817), since 1769 professor of chemistry and botany at the University of Vienna, and also director of the Botanical Garden of the University of Vienna (later the imperial gardens of Schloss Schonbrunn): "Tuo perinde ac Ingenhouzii nostri litterae ingenti me voluptate affecerunt, quod ex his usque mei memores amicos intelligam, quos amo, et maximi facio. Ne Ingenhouzii amplexus negligam [...] Ni tam juvenis filiolus esset, post pascha illum acciperem. Gaudeo expeti nova Horti Vind. exemplaria Londinum; hic ingens nox in rebus hisce est: neque otium adhuc fuit visendi Abbates, qui sane plurimum impendunt in Bibliothecas [...] An Khellius jam persolvit exemplar? [...] Nescio an P. Boda gratulari debeam? Puto non multo faventiores res inventurum Gmundae. Quid Hellius? [...] Gaudeo Dispensatorium Viennense a tantis viris compositum [?] et opto ut omnibus numen valitudinem firmet ad perficiendum: meritis B. Swieten de re medica nostrate maxime hoc unum deesse videbatur. Curate ne mixtura Hoffmaniana, aqua Boraginis, Magnesia, decoctum Cichorii emaneat [...]".
