Take 1 qt. of oysters, strain half the liquor. Put on oysters and liquor in pot. Add 1 large tablespoon of butter, some finely chopped celery, about ½ spoon of celery seed, 1 teaspoon of salt and a pod of red pepper. Let the oysters just begin to curl, take from fire, add 1 pt. of cream, 1 pt. of milk (all cream is better), let come to boil and then add 1 tablespoon of butter creamed with 1 of flour. Let come to a boil and take from fire or oysters will toughen, and serve placing 1 inch squares of bread in tureen before pouring in soup.
