We wish much for a plan of Metcalf's hoggery: the building & the
mode of feeding them: you wished for an errand thither, here is a special good
one. The Prince had some hundreds of hogs with many cows here fed with
the grains from the Distillery: but a great part died from bad management.
For £60 or £70 or thereabouts Sam is offer'd a quantity
of grains that will keep 100 Cows in a year & 200 hogs: but he will
not embrace the offer unless he can correct the acidity of the grains,
for the stuff they distill the brandy from here is little better than vinegar.
This however we shall attempt.
Blue Broadcloth, the Navy colour or thereabouts; 2 pieces to be substituted to as
many of the green, or if that is too late sent after them.
