a vegetable, fo as to reduce it from its prefent high 
price, which confines it to people of fortune, to one 
fo moderate as would bring it into common ufe, like 
other kinds of meal or flour; and fo become a valu- 
able addition to our prefent lifl: of eatables, its quality 
of thickening water being to that of fine flour nearly 
as 24. to I, with this difference, that the jelly of Salep- 
powder is clear and tranfparent, whereas that of flour 
is turbid and white. 
If this fliould find you in the fame fentiments- re- 
fpedting it, I give you liberty to make ufe of it ac- 
cordingly. 
And am, 
with all refpeft, 
Your very humble fervant.
