Horsman called and I paid him for repairs at the Heath Farm. The Doctor orders his wife three ounces of port wine per day: and they look to me to supply it out of the charity funds.
3 ounces is about 85cc; the weekly alcohol intake, assuming a port wine of 20% alcohol, would amount to about 12 modern “units”, close to the recommended limit of 14 units
