Scope and Content

A letter to David Price from a sender at Tannah [Possibly Thane as Bombay/Mumbai is also mentioned in the letter] to send Price five Lottery Tickets (not with the letter) which the writer was tardy in sending because three had been mislaid. Having previously been given a bad cheese from another source, the writer asks Price to send him "immediately one fine pineapple cheese, some anchovie paste and one piece of good red dunganee". He writes of the approaching rain, of a court martial, and the easiest way for Price to visit.
