“Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 23 October 1836 My dear Bachman, I have added two subscribers’ names to my list since I wrote to you. Therefore I have now 15 new ones. I hope the dogs, rum, &c., have reached you ere this. I hope too, and that most sincerely, that you are quite recovered and that your dear family are all well, and the cholera gone to Jericho! John went to the seashore of New Jersey with our young friend Mr. Trudeau of Louisiana on Thursday morning last, and I expect them to return he...re tomorrow night. And perhaps I will dispatch John to Charleston at once to see his beloved one! Now, good friend, open your eyes! Aye, open them tight!! Nay, place specs on your proboscis if you choose! Read aloud!! quite aloud!!! I have purchased ninety-three bird skins! Yes 93 bird skins!—Well, what are they? Why, naught less than 93 bird skins sent from the Rocky Mountains and the Columbia River by Nuttall & Townsend! Cheap as dirt, too—only one hundred and eighty four dollars for the whole of these, and hang me if you do not echo my saying so when you see them!!MoreLessRead More Read Less
