BOLOGNA, 29 May 1860
No. 50 sheepskins [Tall...?; qualification unclear] from France, at 33.50 per hundred: [currency mark] 16.75.
In reply to your kind letters of the 23rd and 29th [of this month?], [the words concerning preparations are unclear] 20 pieces of black [buffalo?] leather, which I shall send you during the coming week. [Several intervening lines concerning pieces and an apparent 20 weight remain partly unreadable.]
As for the price, I shall send [the connection is unclear]. For the bale of [sole leather?] in vallonea [tanning designation], [the weight clause is uncertain], I cannot let it go for less than [currency mark] 26 A [mark]. [The next market clause is partly unclear] it is also selling today at [currency mark] 26.40 [the following comparison remains unclear]. [A further qualification/offer is uncertain], at [currency mark] 3.35 per [mark]; [the following cost and leather condition is unclear] at [currency mark] 3.20. That is what I can do with the said goods, and I shall send you [the final supply/order connection remains unclear].
Awaiting your kind [response wording unclear], with all esteem I offer my respects.
