| Description | (Directed to John Motteux’s.) [Enclosed you have a piece of french money made by Powell who is getting up a good quantity for Mons. Fleury of Rouen at 3/6 per gross, though Mr. Oswald intends charging them at 4/-. I have sent my man to your farm at Yardley for 4 "dindons" which shall be forwarded ready for the Spit, directed to Motteux, Cantrell, Jefferys and Baumgartner. Pray could not Platina Candlesticks be made of our rolled metal and raised as the plated ones to answer the end of the gilt ones? It would not be amiss to apply to Pyne the organ builder, to procure if possible that beautiful art of gilding [or-moulu] in the manner the french do their Sconces. As Oppenheim’s further success in life will in some measure depend on your countenance and protection, I think you will not find it difficult to get him to indemnify you from every loss. It is reported in town that Dr. Small is appointed Physician to the Empress of Russia. Pray is it true.?] |
