222 THE WEDGWOODS. 



" "We have an order from the Duke of Athol for a Dinner and 

 Dessert, Tea and Coffee service, enamel' d, all of which are to be 

 plain, except 12 teacups and sars, unhandled, about the size of the 

 drawing on the other side.* We. sh d be glad to have a few doz ns by 

 the next waggon, as we have only a month from this time allow' d 

 us to get them done. 



" I have had a letter from Mr. Green, but not satisfactory, and I 

 intend to write to him again. 



" The American affairs will not be settled at present. Our Rulers 

 seem determined to try an experiment upon the Continent ; and a 

 very ruinous one I am afraid it will prove. All we can do seems to 

 be to wait, though it must be with considerable anxiety, the very 

 important and interesting event. 



"Be so good to give my respects to all friends, and tell Mr. 

 Cox we have just now rec d a pair of brown pebble (say jasper) vase 

 candlesticks in No. 31 : the best pebble we ever had, and we wish 

 to have more of them 8 or 10 doz. of Candlesticks, and other vases, 

 as soon as may be. 



"I am, Dear Cousin, 



" Yrs affectionately, 



"Jos. WEDGWOOD."
