Here's a translation in case you were wondering:

"
I'd like to tell you about one of my clients who has an actual ophicleide
that was numbered (catalogued?) by C. J. Sax, dating from 1835. It has n=
ot
been restaured and is for sale for 20,000F ($5,000 Can, 4,000US approx.) =
in
its current condition. Please don't hesitate to call me if you know of
someone who is interested in the museum-quality item. Waiting for your
answer and best wishes for 1998.
"
That's basically what it says - so you were pretty much right on.
