To JAMES MORTON, Esq.,
OF CLONMEL, IRELAND.
My Dear Uncle—
The paternal kindness with which you have ever regarded my course through
life, and the solicitude you have expressed for the successful completion of this
work, prompt me, with feelings of mingled pleasure and gratitude, to inscribe
it to you.
That Providence may continue to brighten the evening of your useful life
with health and tranquility, is the sincere prayer of
Your very affectionate Nephew,
SAMUEL GEORGE MORTON.
Philadelphia, November 1, 1839.
