Philadelphia, 18th June, 1834.
To Mr. JOHN HULME.
Dear John,
The bearer, Mr. Robert Heywood, is from the town of Bolton, in our
native county and is on a tour of pleasure to see this great and good
country. Thee will show to him the L. & P. Canal and thee will give him
some idea of the quantity of merchandise which now passes through it,
compared with the merchandise on the river ten years since. Thee can
make him acquainted with some of the good men in Louisville not
forgetting our good old country folks Mr. & Mrs. Keats, to whom give my
best respects. Thee will make him acquainted with some of the best
offices, of the best steamboats on the river, so that he may be well
treated. Thee will also give him good advice so as to enable him to
avoid as much evil and to enjoy as much comfort and happiness as
possible, and by so doing thee will oblige very much thy truly
affectionate father
