Wrote Letter 89 of 1695-05-18 (AB 144) to Frederik Adriaan van Reede van Renswoude

The garden that Leeuwenhoek refers to in this letter is erroneously identified in Alle de Brieven / Collected Letters as his garden south of the Buitenwatersloot, which he had sold in 1693. The garden in this letter is more likely the garden outside the Schoolpoort referred to in a rental agreement made in 1696 by the owner of the adjacent property.
