A large part of the Humboldt Library having perished in a fire at Sotheby's, the intended sale has never taken place, and all the catalogues, except a few, have been destroyed. I bought the Humboldt Library of Mr. Seiffert to whom H. had bequeathed it, and sold it to Mr. Stevens for 4000 [Pfund] in [Jahresangabe]. A. C."
