[[label: Message text]] Maison Pernod fils Pontarlier Par la présente je tenais à vous demander, si vous vendiez l'Absinthe en fût en livrant les blles & l'habil- lage & bouchons séparés. Je vous demande ce renseig- nement puisque les droits de douane sont inabordables et si vous seriez consentant au genre d'expédition ci- dessus il y aurait moyen de placer votre article, qui se de- mande assez fréquemment. Pour la mise en bouteille vous pourriez être tranquille, vu qu'é- tant la plus ancienne affaire de la place, nous nous respecterions trop pour allonger ces articles, chose qui se fait souvent. Salutations Constant Meyer

[[label: Address panel]] Maison Pernod fils Distillery Pontarlier

[[label: Message text]] Maison Pernod fils Pontarlier I should like to ask whether you sell absinthe in barrels while supplying the bottles, packaging and corks separately. I ask because the customs duties are prohibitive; if you would agree to the form of shipment described above, there would be a way to sell your product, for which there is fairly frequent demand. You may be at ease about the bottling: as the oldest firm in the locality, we would have too much self-respect to dilute the product, as is often done. Greetings, Constant Meyer

Address to Pernod Fils, Constant Meyer signature, barrel and separate bottling supplies, customs rationale, anti-dilution assurance and the postmark-based 19 March 1905 date were checked against both complete captures. Date evidence: No manuscript dateline is present; the date is inferred from the Mulhouse origin postmark and receiving stamp of 19 March 1905. Origin evidence: The sender cachet of Constant Meyer at 30 rue du Sauvage and the origin postmark identify Mulhouse.
