Sir

May we beg to know whether y it is possible for us to have a specimen of the "Pencil of Nature" for exhibition – as we think we could procure some Subscribers to it – We should not trouble you did we not know that there is no chance of obtaining it otherwise than through your instrumentality

We are, Sir, Your obedient Servants
Simms & Son
