To a Gentleman in reply as to an Agency for a Bordeaux Firm.

Sir,
I have received your letter of the 4th inst. If you feel confident that you are in a position to do a good and safe private trade for my firm I shall be pleased to hear from you with regard to references, &c. The commission we allow to our agents is 15 per cent., the cheapest qualities excepted, on which we allow only 10 per cent. commission. Letters for me to be addressed "Care of Messrs. F——t and F——k, Strand, London." I shall be returning to Bordeaux shortly, and await your early reply
Yours truly,
