Forlì, 9 August 1862.
In prompt reply to your kind letter of yesterday — I have sheepskins [uncertain description], grained, weighing over [weight mark] 2½, which I shall let you have at the very lowest [uncertain wording] price of [14?] bajocchi. I also have bazzanine [technical leather term], [uncertain description with testa inserted above the line]; these too are over [weight mark] 2 per skin.* All of it is very fine material. I look forward to your order in time, as orders for it are coming in quickly; it can all be sold in your market. If you order any of the above articles, let me know whether I should also include goat bazzanine, and in what quantity. Awaiting your prompt reply, I greet you in friendship.
* I shall let you have them at 18 bajocchi per [weight mark]. P.S. Tell me whether all of it should be sent by the [p/n?; abbreviation uncertain] railway or through the usual Gramellini.
For the firm G. Vignoli
