TO CESARE MONARI

For the following goods sold to you and consigned to the carrier Tura; payable [no term entered].
BOLOGNA, 12 July 1862.

A. No. 50: bazzane B.ne [abbreviated leather description], sole leather, [weight mark] 69.9, at 24: 16.74.

Today I have handed the above goods to the carrier Tura, as you requested in your kind letter of the 10th. I have done all I could to satisfy you regarding the weight, both of the leather and of the bazzane. As for the black Corametto [technical leather term], the representative of those pieces will have notified you yesterday, and he has assured me that next Wednesday he will send me the six pieces ordered. [Wording uncertain: vi indicatemi peggio] at [currency mark] 19 per [mark]; you will tell me whether the increased price suits you.
That is what I had to tell you, and with the usual esteem and friendship I offer my respects.
Cesare Monari
