has been cheapened for that purpose, a decent
House, The Price for the Fee Simple of which is
about 120 Rubles, about £30—

You may therefore speak of Benson as a Person
whom either on his own account, or on accot. of
his being under the Coll's protection you wish
to serve, and order the Cloths as for him, and in
his name, answering yourself for the
Payment of it in such manner as may be
required.

yards, Green, The Same of White, and 1/5. of Scarlet.
The Green shod be a Grass Green (as you see by
the Coll's Uniform) whether it be this or that Shade
do's not much signify — The Shalloon shod be
Scarlet matching exactly the scarlet Broadcloth
It shod be the finest there is or nearly so.

If it happens that the whole amount shod come

I mention this that you may not think it necessary
