TO CESARE MONARI
Dealer in hides, near the Caffè da S. Pietro.
For the following goods sold to him and handed to the carrier Tura.
Payable [no term entered].
BOLOGNA, 19 April 1862.
60 first-quality Tally sheepskins — rate ₤ 3; amount ₤ 18:00.
10 Buenos hides, 137 [pounds] — rate 29; amount 39:73.
Total ₤ 57:73.

In reply to your letter of yesterday [illegible], with a receipt of the same date I have sent you the aforementioned natural and Buenos hides. I hope to hear that you are entirely satisfied with both the natural hides and the Buenos hides. The prices of our slaughterhouse skins are from ₤ 6 to ₤ 6:20 net per [pair?]. Although the slaughtermen have been very displeased with this reduction, necessity and prices on the [foreign?] markets have [illegible] in the contracts; I therefore hope that they will do the same in Romagna and where you are.
Awaiting your orders, with all esteem and friendship I remain yours,
Cesare Monari
