BOLOGNA, 30 July 1862.
No. 10 black leather hides, weighing
[weight sign] 172 — [sign] 23:50 / [currency sign] 40:42 —
This is what remained on commission with me,
in the [uncertain abbreviations] of the 28th and 29th of this month [uncertain words] you
acknowledge receipt of the [uncertain word] of the 25th of this month.
In the last you tell me that you found a difference of 2 [weight sign] less on the said [item]; it will be [uncertain word],
[uncertain words], but in these very hot days
and [uncertain words] the journey, it is not difficult for this difference to arise; now [uncertain word]
[uncertain words], and so
for this time I allow you [sign] [uncertain figure],
but in future, when the [uncertain word] is
well kept, I cannot allow anything
for the difference during the journey.
This was what I had to tell you, and awaiting this
and fresh orders, with all esteem and
friendship I pay you my respects.
Cesare Monari
