Madison Decr 20.

My dear Mrs. Fairchild:
Permit me to send you
a taste of wine of the
South. It is "Scuppes -
nony," as they call it
It is like some people
-some sweet and
some sour, with just
enough spirit in it to
give it life and not
enough to make it [?]
I wish you the
the greetings of the season,
when we receive
our chief happiness in
making others happy.
Yours truly
Edwin E. Bryant
