Mr. Alfred Speer,-Dear Sir: The
visit which I made last year to your Vine
wards, wine-presses and vaults at Passaic
n. J., satisfies me thoroughly that the
wines manuta aetured by you are pure and
unadultelated; and the very best that can
be offered to the public for medicinal
use.
Acting upon my favorable impression
1T the time, I have since recommended
the Port Wine; more particularly in my
practice. and am satisfied With marked
benefit TO my patients.
There can be no better proof TO the
doubling mind, as to the wine being
made of the finest Oporto grape, than a
visit to the acres of land covered with the
vine bearing the luxurant fruit. Wishing
you success in your praieeworthv enter
prise,
I remain respectfully yours.
