From Mathew Carey & Son
Philad. July 5. 1818—
Sir
Your favour of 28th inst. is recd
We had supposed that McMahon’s Gardening was forwarded per mail, when ordered by you, but upon examination, we find that the package had not been forwarded. It is now sent per mail, & we hope will arrive safe.—
Baron Grimm’s Memoirs cannot be obtained here either in French or English.—We can readily obtain it for you from London or Paris.—The price we do not know, but if you wish it in French, it will be very low.—
