Gentlemen:-
Please ship the following bill of goods to the hotel

Our purchasing agent says the prices of your wine are higher than those of any other wines that we buy, and that we will not be likely to sell very much of your product. I give you this information for your own benefit.
I want to give you the preference over others, on account of your Mr Kirby, who has always been a good friend of this hotel.

Yours truly,
E. S. Babcock Manager.
