Autograph Letter Signed to an unnamed correspondent [Triphook].

Theological writer (1792-1866). Two pages, 4to, chipping and discoloration slightly affecting text, mainly good. "Sir/ I am obliged to you for affording me a sight of Bede. I should be glad however to know the price [small excision "t"] you intend to set it down at- because looking at your list No 66 the copy there is said to be neat [underlined] 3.13.6. which I suppose cannot be the one now sent as the binding is in a very indifferent state, & the leaf (pages) 33[3?]-334 - is torn almost in two. The expense of rebinding so large a volume would not be much under twenty shillings - in which case the volume would be unusually expensive. Mr Parker [bookseller] - had a good copy at 2.12.6. in his catalogue - which however I was too late for./ With respect to Etienne - when I heard from Longmans that it was sold - seeing it advertised elsewhere I applied for it, which for ought I know may now be on its way -/ Please to send me your answer [??] above <?> <7?> upon receipt with [page 2] as below to Mr Thorpe's [bookseller] - who I expect will dispatch me some books perhaps to morrow . . . [postscript] 6902 Gallonius 5/-/ 4068 Brissonius 2/-/ 4294 [indecipherable]/ 1025 Montfaucon 6/-/ 5002 Lewes' Acts &c 3/-". The last three have a line thorugh them (bookseller saying sold?).
