Flour is so extremely dull this Fall, that it is scarcely possible to get it off on any terms, was therefore glad to dispose of balance yours, & several other parcels, at $6, sixty days credit, as per ℀ sales above—several small sales have recently been made at $5⅞, & I wish it may not get lower, when the River rises to the winter level, & will admit the free passage of Boats up & down.

Mr F. A. Mayo presented me an ℀ yesterday, for binding upwards of 30 Volumes for you, instead of 21, as specified in your letter, I declined to pay for more than 21 Vol:, which he received, say $15.75, & said he would write in regard to the balance—if the whole ℀ is just, & you direct it, I will pay the balance at any time—   Yours very Truly
