Philadelphia, 17th June, 1834.
From THOS. HULME to PISHEY THOMPSON.
My Dear Sir,
Allow me to make you acquainted with our friend Mr. Robert Heywood, the
bearer of this, who is a very respectable gentleman from our native town
of Bolton and who was well acquainted with our old and much respected
friend Dr. Taylor.
Mr. Heywood is now on a tour of pleasure for the purpose of seeing a
portion of this great and good country; which needs nothing but great
men to render it one of the greatest and most wealthy, "and when the
moral, in place of the criminal passions shall prevail," one of the most
happy nations in the world. As our friend may stop a few days in
Washington, I thought he might spend a few hours pleasantly in your
store, and if you can add anything to his pleasure and happiness by
showing him anything worth seeing in your wicked city, or by giving him
any sort of useful information you will, by so doing, very much oblige
your
Sincere friend,
THOS. HULME.
N.B. Please make Mr. Heywood acquainted with F. Taylor.

My Dear Sir,
Allow me to introduce to you a friend and countryman, Mr. Robert
Heywood, a very respectable gentleman from our native town of Bolton,
who is on a tour of pleasure to see this great and good country, and who
intends to visit an old countryman in Lexington, Kentucky, if he be
still living there. Have the goodness to make Mr. Heywood acquainted
with Mr. Clay who probably may know his friend in Lexington, and please
introduce him to any other of our friends with whom he or you may wish
him to be acquainted. These favours with any other kindnesses you may
render to our friend will oblige very much your sincere friend
