Just a note to tell you I received "The Hierarchie of the Blessed Angells" yesterday in fine shape and I am very happy with such a fine copy. Best regards

Many thanks for your prompt reply informing me that the book is now set aside for the library. It's great that you are willing and able to send an invoice with the book -- it makes life a little easier when you work for a very large institution! Thanks again.
