you will obtain, most all the books mentioned
in your first list, but the Muratori; and
Pelitot collection complete 110 Vol. With
respect, to that last work, which is much
estimed, I am inform that a complete set
will be sold schortly at public sale in
case is sold 25/100 lower than common
price I will give order to buy it.

Some days past I have received your
secund? Second list, including your bill of
1552.fr {francs} It result already of the information
obtained, that I will obtain most all
the books you mention. and I think the
price of the amounts will be under the
sum sent. -- The binding of the new books
always sold brocher by our bookseller, will
detain almost one month the expedition then
the box will not left Havre but the 15th of month.
The packets starting very regularly the 1st and 15th
of every months.

As soon I will receive the first
numbers of your Southern Review, I will propose
the exchange for the Revue encyclopedique and
J.al {Journal} des Savants I have some hope to be succesful
in my proposal. -- until the 1st January 1828
I have send to the Charleston {Charleston} library the
Annales
de Chimie and the Journal Général littérature
étrangere, but I have no more money to the {Charleston}
{Library} as I have not receivd {received} news from the
librarian; I do not know if I must continue to subscribe. --
In your
envoice I will send the for you the {Journal}
général de la littérature de France which appear every
month
the price is 15 {francs} 3 dollars by year. This {journal}
seem
to me very usefull for your object as it
give notice of all the important works daily
published. The jrl. litt. étrangeres of Chambly would
be also profitable for the works published
in the north of the continent.

The correspondence direct from Charleston
to France cannot be affected regularly as very few
ships start from Havre and we are not advised
of those starting from Bordeaux &c.

With respect I remain your
most devoted
fr. {François} André Michaux
