New York June 22d 56
My Dear Sir
I have recd. yours of the
20th mst. and shall carry out
the recommendations and instructions
therein contained to the letter.
I take issue with you how-
ever on the question of my being
either a Hailstone or a Hotspur
for owing to this demnition hot
weather I have become an unctuous
mass of greasiness whose pre-
dominant characteristic is

imperturbable good nature
unless on particular occasions
which I account for after the
manner of Jack Talstaff
"Thou seest I have more flesh
than another man; and there-
fore more frailty".
I have seen McClenahan
but once since I came
to New York. I shall try
to see him to morrow and
ascertain when he goes to
Phil. Fillmore arrived
last night. The reception
procession passed my house
about 2 oclock this morning

my children got up and
looked out the window
and one wanted to know
if it was a funeral another,
if they were going to 
hang that man.
I am sorry he has allowed
himself to be humbugged and
betrayed by the dark lantern
he is altogether too decent
a man for their purpose.
I am Yours Sincerely
Jno. J. McGowan M.D.
R. Tyler Esq.
