Context

Dear Mr. McDonald : Excuse me please, that I am in my returne so late; but I had during the time so much work, that I worked daily till 8 o'clock p.m. Therefore I was always very tired, you must understand. It was just the time to pick up the cherries, apricots, plums and now the nuts. Since the 1st of October is the vintage. The grapes are very good but now I am afraid that they begans to rots. The weather is in the moment very terrible - the most time it is raining and I need so much the sun. I have so always my sorrows and my work. I hope you can forgive me. And now to your question? I can send you 10 bottles of wine, this is allowed, but I have to regard that bottles and the weight of them is only 20 kg., because more is not permitted. The price of the bottle wine is F22._. The money for sending from me to you I can't say in the moment. Please write me if I can send you our "Ruster Burgunder". Mr. Reinprecht is feeling well and send you many greetings. He has on the 12th of Oktober his 66th birthday. Our family will make a little festivity to honour him. Sincerely
