Transcript

Hull Feb. 26 - 1824

My very dear Sir;

After assuring you of the kind reception I met with from Mr. Perry, and all the excellent friends of this place, I beg leave, in a very hasty manner, to apprise you of my intention to be with you by the tomorrow’s (7. O’clock A.M.) coach.

On Saturday, if the Lord will, I must pass on to Leeds and there spend the Sunday.

With expressions of the kindest and most grateful regards to all the friends at York; and with the most fervent [prayers] for God’s blessing on them, I am,

Very Dear Sir

Faithfully Yours

Philander Chase
