My wife, who is very fond of toasted cheese, presents her compliments to him, and begs to know if there's any of that kind, which he was so good as to send us last Christmas, to be sold in London.
Meine Frau, die übergerösteten Käse sehr liebt, lässt ihn herzlich grüßen und möchte gerne wissen, ob es in London von der Sorte zu kaufen gibt, die er so freundlich war, uns letztes Weihnachten zu schicken.
