Letter from Uvedale Price, Foxley, to Sir George Beaumont, 1796 October 13 : autograph manuscript signed.

Telling Beaumont that he is about to set off for Lord Aylesford's at Packington and inviting him to come along; writing that he is not proposing something similar to Lady Beaumont, both because she is not acquainted with Lady Aylesford and also because he supposes that "she is ready to sail up the arche-pelago, to go across deserts & mountains to Bagdat or across seas to America, but if you propose to her a town in England or Wales is afraid of bad accommodations"; responding to a request from Beaumont for cider; describing in detail the cider he has on hand, what kind of apple it was made from (Hagloe crab), how much it cost, how it needs to be stored and how good it is; discussing cider made from foxwhelp apples; mentioning the scarcity of apples and cider at the current time; saying that he is not very optimistic about the idea of seeing Beaumont at Aylesford's, but telling him to write him there; asking Beaumont to contact his wine merchant about some port wine that Price would like; adding in a postscript that he will make sure Beaumont receives a copy of his "new edition" at his house in Grosvenor Square.
