Paris January 25th 1828

Sir

{Mister} A. Mey has delivered me your
letter of the 17th November last to which was
amassed a list of books your are desirous to obtain
A bookseller well acquainted with old editions
was immediately charged to procure those which
could be found in Paris. Relating to the prices paid
for them I will remark that they are very arbitrary
for those printed before 1700. Tho some books
sold at Vendue for about one dollor often
cannot be got for 5 or 6 at a bookseller
shop, when aksed for.

Murator's rerum Italicarum was sold
some years past at public sale for 450 francs
a very fine copy. Not one is at present to be
had in Paris. I give order for it in Italy but
not [?] expected to got much less than 7 or 8 ou
francs. — The box mark S.E. ? will be
shiped on the [Au?] [aclget?] who will left Havre
for New York (no [loss] fr. Charleston) the 1st of
February. She is directed to Ay. Girard Mercht. who
