Sir
Having frequent orders from our / wholesale customers for the Sketch Book, / we are desirous of being informed if you / can supply us with a portion of the future / No.s to see answer those demands. _
The very small discount made to us / by Mr. Thomas ( ⅙ ) + being obliged to pay / him cash on receipt of the books, has caused / us to decline sending them, as our correspondents / w’d not chuse to have them at retail price / on credit, + even these sh’d not make / much over the interest of our money.
If any arrangement can be made [you?] / will oblige us by [??] per return of mail
Your [??] M. Carey + Son
