Permit me individually, to tender my acknowledge- 

 ments for the indulgence which you at all times evinced 

 towards our association, and respectfully to solicit that 

 you will visit our new location, whenever your inclination 

 and convenience may prompt you. 



With sentiments of the highest esteem, 



1 am your Friend, 



ROBERT WHARTON. 



Governor of the State in Schuylkill.
