As the price of The Ratifying Stamp, I have obtained fifty copies of A Guide for Youth from the publishers and have given the money. Also, in exchange, as the blessed price of that blessed collection are two saucepans which have served me well but are not now necessary and which I did not want to give to anyone, and a cotton robe I have worn for fifteen years, and a truly blessed book; a kettle and teapot, a razor I have used to shave with for twenty‑four years, and a sheet which has served me for a long time past. As reckoned and recommended by Kılınç Ali's father, who was present, and Ahmed Rasih, nine liras for the saucepans, nine liras for the kettle and teapot, nine liras for the razor, and for the cotton robe, sheet, two hand-towels, some underpants and a cotton shirt a total of one hundred and twenty-five liras. They estimated these prices, but I thought it should be less and said that was too much.

Greetings to all‥
