In my letter of Nov. 30. I requested all the dispatch in binding the books I sent you, which the solidity of the work would admit, and when ready that you would send me notice and your bill adding that1 with the order for payment I would direct how they should be forwarded. I have been in the daily expectation of recieving the bill and notice, and am impatient at being so long out of the use of my books. the sooner therefore you can give me the desired information the more acceptable will it be. in the mean time I salute you respectfully.
