Dear Leeser
I have received your esteemed favor together with the books which I shall endeavor to dispose of as early as possible. I understand that a Mr. Joseph is selling books of the same description at $2 piece, however, I shall do the best I can for you, so that you shall not loose by them it will not answer for me to send the first nos of the magazine to any one as is customary with your publishers for I will not suffer any book to go out of my hands without the cash being paid for them as there is no dependence on any one in Jamaica. Nothing but Poverty every where, I notice the different deaths and except Mrs. Hk Hackenburgh is what Lex Liebe?, give my love to Louisa, and say I have received her letter but could not answer by this opportunity.
Remember me kindly to Mrs. Cousens & the family, In as well as all friends. In the hope that you are completely recoverd & enjoying health
I remain ?
Your friend
A. C. Peirpotte
The book given as a sample was the same as those sent now. ? LD Lufus? remembers Kindly to you all.
