While at Bologna I found and purchased another piece of Terra Cotta for my garden. It is very old and shows the date on face, so there will be no duty, but charges for freight, brokerage etc. from Bologna are at my expense. Will you kindly attend to this for me. Invoice and B/L are enclosed. If anything goes wrong please correspond with Giovanni Biamothi, Genoa, who are the forwarding agents for the fellow whose name appears across the stamp on invoice - a little antiquarian at Bologna - none too responsible I am sure.

I am hoping to find some Terra Cotta glazed jars, but they are extremely scarce. If I succeed they too will follow, after which I will not trouble you again for some time with these matters. You are all well at home, I trust. To each and all most cordial greetings.

Faithfully
Freer.

Long hand.
