The inclosed letter we received under cover from our R:F by Ship from Dublin with directions to forward it to your Excellency; and to request an answer through our hands which we shall take care to send by the same conveyance. We shou’d esteem ourselves happy to have it in our power to render your Excellency any service in this place: as we buy annually of the first wines for the English Market we can at all times supply you with them and at reasonable prices; those of the first Class from 1800 lr a 2000 lr per Tun; seconds from 1400 lr to 1600 lr and thirds from 12 to 1300 lr. We mean for Wines from 2 to 3 years old. We have some of the latter Classes of Vintage 78 that we can give at the same prices, and which if bottled here woud be fit for use soon after its arrivall in Paris.

The expeditions for America upon the   were so considerable, that it will still require some time for that Trade to get into its proper Channell: which for present prevents our extending and improving the connection. We woud wish to cultivate with our Friends Messrs. Bache & Shee; when things change we shall be happy in giving them every proof of our attachment and consent. We are with the greatest respect Sir Your Excellency’s Obedient and Very Humble Servants
