Vol 2^nd contains 362 pages letter press
and 85 plates. There are several maps
interspersed and a Separate Geological
map accompanying the whole. I should
not return west without this work for my=
self if I felt able to purchase it. The
whole is probably worth $100 but could
I think be obtained something less
perhaps for $80. If this description
should get to you in Season for you
to Send me a line by the 1^st of
August it would reach me here. I
could bring the work with me or
it could be sent to you at any subse
=quent time I know the work would
please you, it being so immediately connec=
=ted with your pursuits=

Kind regards to all your family

Yours very respectfully
L W Holmes
