Your favor dated 11th April to hand, in continuation of mine of Feb 2nd altho the orders followed closely upon each other neverless continue to respond to the same. The corks heretofore despatched with the claret have been too large, this error has been pointed out before please be good enough to see that they are smaller ones when next forwarded…

Messrs Adet Seward & Co. Bordeaux
By this post I send you one of the corks received with the hhd of Claret ex ”Arabia” . I am sure you will agree with me when I say that it is simply useless being too short by far & too large round for pint bottles. I cannot think that you would have sent such corks from your stores should this be the case & you have grounds to suspect that they have been changed in transit please be good to institutes inquiries with a view of finding out how & where the exchange took place .I also enclose a cork as a fair specimen of the sort I require which please be good enough to supply on all occasions.
Please also send 600 corks with each cask of Brandy as well as with the Claret

The 3rd (The King's Own) Hussars was a cavalry regiment of the British Army, first raised in 1685. It saw service for three centuries, including the First World War and the Second World War…. It then went on to fight at the Battle of Chillianwala in January 1849 and the Battle of Gujrat in February 1849 during the Second Anglo-Afghan War. The regiment was renamed the 3rd (The King's Own) Hussars in 1861. In 1868 it was in India. The regiment was deployed to South Africa in December 1901 for service in the Second Boer War and was involved in the last great drives, capturing the boers, in the north-east of the Orange River Colony. Mhow Cantonment in the Indore district of Madhya Pradesh is one of the oldest Cantonments in India.
