Letter from John Adams to Crowley:

Dear Sir:

I have been given to Understand that you are the sole possessor of alcoholic beverages in this Place. As such, you are within your Rights in a Free Market Economy to charge what you will for distributing them and I should like to inquire as to your Fee for one bottle of champagne. I have no money readily available, but I have been an Attorney for twenty years and any Services I may render, I should be glad to do so.

Your servant,
J. Adams

Letter from Crowley to John Adams:

Mr. Adams,

I do indeed have champagne at my disposal, as well as everything else I presently need or want, so I'm afraid I have no need of your services at the moment. Therefore, my price for the bottle is only that you satisfy my idle curiosity. What are you celebrating?

-Crowley

Letter from John Adams to Crowley:

Dear Sir:

If satisfying your curiosity is the Price I must pay, then it is the Price I must pay, though I must trust in your Honor as a Gentleman not to disclose what is a delicate matter. The drink is not for my sole Gratification, nor to celebrate any particular Event, but is intended to entertain a Lady.

Your servant,
J. Adams

Package from Crowley to John Adams consisting of two champagne glasses and a bottle of champagne with a card tied around its neck:

Give Susan a flourish for me. -Crowley

If handwriting can convey snarky, suggestive laughter, this handwriting does. John flushes to the roots of his hair, but puts the bottle away in the small white box that keeps things cold with a faint smile.

Letter from John Adams to Fay D. Flourite:

Dear Sir:

I have been given to Understand that you have been providing specialty foods to the people of this Place and I should like to inquire as to the Availability of such. I am, in particular, looking for simple picnic Fare appropriate to entertain a Lady in a romantic setting. I have no money readily available, but I have been an Attorney for twenty years and any Services I may render, I should be glad to do so.

Your servant,
J. Adams
