Summary
Enclosing prints that he found while moving (no longer with the letter); adding that he believes Colnaghi lent the prints to Pugin's brother-in-law Louis Lafitte and apologizing for not having returned them earlier; writing that a friend of his wants to dispose of "Le Sacre of Buonaparte" (possibly referring to "Le Sacre de Napoléon" by Jacques-Louis David) and asking Colnaghi what he thinks it would be worth; mentioning "seven large folio volumes of the work of Egipt (a magnificent work)."
