" Gentleseeti,—ln consequence of a gentleman having
called upon me from your nous?, respecting a letter ad-
drested and forwardcd by me, on the 17th inst., (on
behalf of the wino trade), to the Count de Neuilly, re-
lative to the use of his name, in conjunction with that
of your house, respecting a proposed public sale on the
25th instant, since postponed sine die, and your house
b. leg now in possession of the said letter, will you
favour me with an answer to the same, viz.—lf the
wines in question aro the bona fide property of the
Court de Neuilly. If they.are, certain it is they have
been purchased recently by him on specula:ion, and not,
according to the statement made, originating in a mys-
terious manner, also bringiug your house forward before
the public in a most unprecedented manner, no doubt to
give &tat and success to a very doubtful transaction.
" I am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant,
