Draper to Grantham Regarding Mr Bastard's wine. Will pay Poplins bills, but hopes Grantham will have nothing more to do with it. "I have lately heard that they are prohibited, and subject, if discovered, not only to confiscation but to a heavy penalty." Grantham should confidentially hint his involvement to a friend in power, who may prevent its being used against him. Man calling himself Capt. Baynes an impostor. Real Captain Baynes at Epsom, not in Spain. Received 11 April 1777
