SAINT-DOMINGUE 1736. PELET Shipowner from BORDEAUX; Long let - Lot 152
SAINT-DOMINGUE 1736. PELET Shipowner from BORDEAUX; Long letter written, to Mr PELET Shipowner and Trader in BORDEAUX, from CAPE (St Domingue) on July 9, 1736. 4pp in-folio (The last leaf is missing). He tries to sell his barrels of wine at a good price but he is obliged to be satisfied with 150 livres because in this season the old wines turn (to vinegar). "For the new wines, all those to whom I had it tasted told me that they were only vergeurs and none of them wanted it, so that without a Vaisseau Négrier who took 8 barrels at 150 pounds a barrel, I would still have started selling them... He reserves some sugar freight for his ship LE THÉTIS..."
