glad to have a little Frontenac. That wine is
to be had at Battle sometimes very cheap - cheaper
(Mr W. told me an instance when bought by the pipe) than
Port wine in the proportion of £18 to 40. I
would be glad to have it even at Port Price.
The quantity as there should be opportunity from
21 doz. even to 12. I could get if Any surplus
not exceeding that amount I could make sure of
getting rid of. Miss S. loves Frontenac.
See if you can the Horse that Mr W. talked of
for me. If Burgundy or Claret but rather the former
could be got so low as 36s I would be glad to have
a dozen if no Frontenac could be got: but rather
Burgundy than Claret. You have money enough to pay
somthing by way of earnest; and the rest shall be paid when
deliver'd: of which should the negotiation succeed fail not

they you express on their behalf.
