| Description | ‘I duly rec’d yours of 28th by which I find Mr B. had then received some Fish but neither Mrs Matthews nor myself sent any so that I suppose it must have been a present from an unknown Friend. Agreeable to your desire I yesterday sent a Cod Fish wch was the only sort at market that would be good today, & I have this day sent four pair Soles & two Haddocks as Mrs M. understands Mr B. would want Fish for Dinner tomorrow also. I should have sent Turbot but they are not to be purchased at any price at this time.’ |
