March 12th, 1898.

Messrs. John Harvey and Sons, Limited,
Denmark Street, Bristol, England.

Gentlemen:-

The ten cases of wine covered by your invoice of February 10 were received yesterday in good order and I take pleasure in enclosing herewith draft on the City Bank, Limited, of London for fifty two pounds, thirteen shillings and six pence, which according to our figures balances my account to date. If this is correct please receipt and return the enclosed voucher. If there is any error in calculations be good enough to advise me and I will be pleased to adjust the same in my next settlement.

I notice in your favor of February 10th the remarks concerning the Comet Port, vintage of 1858, and that you can offer me six dozen additional. I wish you would be good enough to forward this at your convenience together with say six dozen of the special 1878 Port mentioned in the same letter. I would also like one dozen bottles of Moet 1880. I occasionally have an appreciative English guest and it would be a pleasure to offer such a bottle of this wine. You might also add one dozen of Perrier Jouet, 1874, Cuvee G. at thirty shillings per bottle.

I am in no particular hurry for these shipments, but you may send them at your convenience, shipping as heretofore addressed to me in bond to Detroit, care the Merchants Despatch Transportation Company at New York.

Yours very truly,
Charles L Freer [[signature]]
