1From Thomas Jefferson to Ellen Wayles Randolph Coolidge, 14 November 1825 (Jefferson Papers)
...ask for every thing from thence, but such only as are not to be had here at all. perhaps I should trespass on mr Coolidge for one other article. we pay here 2.D. a gallon for bad French brandy. I think I have seen, in Degrand’s Price current Marseilles brandy, from Dodge and Oxnard, advertised good at 1. Dollar; and another kind called Seignettes, which I am told is good Cognac at 1D.25....
