Summary:
His daughter is now "as well as you can wish her" and she is impatient to see Smith. Country is in great beauty and if they can "fight off the scarcity till Harvest" they shall do well, and he will have the "pleasure of saving this country a second time from a famine". His champagne merchant lives and is offering him fine wine at 12 livres the bottle at Basle, and though he can sell it in France for 30 Louis he "wisely prefers the sterling coin".
