the_o wine_n of_o our_o country_n use_v to_o be_v most_o transport_v be_v quite_o interrupt_v which_o have_v reduce_v many_o gentleman_n in_o the_o country_n to_o a_o starve_v condition_n who_o

of_o wine_n i_o have_v by_o i_o he_o send_v i_o a_o very_a oblige_a answer_n even_o beyond_o what_o i_o desire_v or_o expect_v for_o he_o tell_v i_o that_o he_o will_v gratify_v i_o in_o this_o

the_o port_n at_o this_o time_n he_o further_o advise_v i_o to_o endeavour_v to_o make_v the_o merchant_n allow_v i_o a_o more_o considerable_a reward_n for_o so_o extraordinary_a a_o favour_n a_o thousand_o pistol_n be_v not_o a_o equivalent_a to_o what_o he_o be_v likely_a to_o get_v by_o the_o bargain_n after_o i_o have_v receive_v this_o letter_n i_o think_v myself_o as_o good_a as_o
