My Dear Rozirr; 
I reached here on the 31st of last month a little fatigued, 
as you can well imagine. Yesterday I wrote to T. W. Bake- 
well at New Orleans, and doubt not he is sending you regularly 
the prices current of the market there. I have found here a 
letter addressed to my brother-in-law from Benj. Bakewell, who 
complains of us, and says that we ought to settle with him in 
one way or another; write to him at Pittsburgh; I will be with 
him, possibly at the same time, and will speak with him; by the 
bill which he inclosed you will see that we are his debtor for 
55$. I am leaving here in 2 or 3 days. I wish you health and 
prosperity, and with the respects of my wife, I am always your 
friend & 
Servant 
J. AUDUBON.
