Gentlemen:-

Earlier reply to your favor of first instant prevented by my absence.  When next in New York I will take pleasure in calling upon you, hoping that in your new importations I will find something of interest. 

Yours truly,

Transcription Notes:
in words "Fift(h)", "r(e)ply", "nex(t)" Upon reevaluation of the context, it doesn't make sense for the sentence to refer to "our new importations." In this case, "four" is more likely to be the correct word. The sentence would then mean that the writer hopes to find something of interest in the new importations. So, given the context, "four" appears to be the most sensible choice. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-09-22 05:56:50 changed 'four new importations' to 'our new importations. I do not see the letter f or any signs of it in the digital scan of the document. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-09-22 09:41:22 changed 'our new importations' to 'your new importations' ---------- Reopened for Editing 2023-09-22 10:40:42
