Having a Vessel going to Philadelphia which is an occurence rare with us I have orderd Six Cases of Claret containing thirty Bottles each to be marked for your Excellency on a presumption that Good genuine Wine of this growth will meet a welcome reception. I write Messieurs Meredith & Clymer to whom the Vessel goes consigned to hold the same at your disposal and have transmitted them a memorandum of the Cost and Charges, amounting to Six hundred Twenty One Livres.

Accept most worthy Sir my most Ardent Wishes for your Health. I have the Honor to be with due Respect Sir Your most Obedient Humble Servant
