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
