In reply to yours of the 14th of this month [abbreviations uncertain]: I accept the allowance you grant me on the 36 [pairs of stockings?: words uncertain],
amounting to £31:66, for which I credit you with only £49. Having taken out the Mont. [abbreviation retained],
black greased skins and toletta bazzane [leather terms retained], I credited you with £38:10 [the accompanying qualification is uncertain].
A payment order [“of Bologna” inserted above the line] to be collected for £43:91 Med.i [abbreviation retained], and this settles all our accounts to date;
I shall await your confirmation and credit. The [Bandriè?: leather term uncertain] you offer me for a saddler’s use are not suitable
[cancelled words: they do not ...]; [the following words are unclear].
I should like to know whether you have [Corali?: term uncertain] and leather, telling me [words unclear] and the
price you ask for them.

Forlì, 14 June 1856.
In reply to your esteemed letter of the 12th of this month, I am very sorry to have replied to you concerning
the stockings in question, since I believed I had made you a generous
allowance and was fully convinced I would find you
reasonable. Enough: to put an end to this tiresome outstanding
matter as well, I shall allow you another scudo, to show you
that I am making a very great sacrifice here; accordingly
I have debited you with only £49. Meanwhile I inform
you that today, through the usual carrier Granellini, I have
sent you the hides listed below, for which you will kindly
credit me with £38.20, quite certain
that you will be entirely satisfied with everything.
The Budriè [leather term retained] I mentioned in my preceding
letter is for a saddler: it is used chiefly
for saddles and horse harness. It will weigh from
10 to 11 pounds per hide, and I can let you have it
at 34 bajocchi per pound. It is also known by the name
of French leather. This is for your guidance, and,
[closing abbreviations partly unclear], I greet you,
for the firm G. Rigoli
[signature mark]
No. 50 Mont. [abbreviation retained], greased, 131 lb, at 16 bajocchi: £20.96.
No. 40 Bazz.e [abbreviation retained], [sapuola?: word uncertain], 103¼ lb, at 16: £16.53.
Carriage paid: 0.71.
£38.20.
