To the Ghent American Tea Company,

Gentlemen Business, and a want of opportunity, have 
for the last eight months prevented me sending, or rather at¬ 
tending to our monthly club, whose orders I sent you regu¬ 
larly for about a year previous. Since that time many indeed 
have been the solicitations by many of the members, that I 
should once again commence and send club orders—for, as 
some declared, they had got ho Tea, no" matter what tlie 
price paid, since I quit sending the club orders. I have, 
therefore, at the urgent request of a few, resolved to send 
you a small order monthly, and as a beginning send you the 
following:
