Messrs. Mayer & Brantz
In the list of books furnished by me to mr Reibelt and which you were so kind as to undertake to import was an edition of Aeschyli tragediae Gr. & Lat. Schutz. 2. vols 8vo. stitched. this was by mistake sent to mr Reibelt at New Orleans, from whom I recieved it last night, with a request to account to you for it’s value. the object of the present letter is to ask the favor of your information of the price which shall be remitted to you. I salute you with respect.
