| Transcript | $$H162 Part of the Andrew S Anderson Collection $$H New York 24 July 1857 My Dear Jany I would write you a longer letter only I have written to James and have given him all the news that I have. I have had my head examined by L. fowler the most celebrated Phrenologist in the United States. I enclose a chart of it for William, it appears Mr fowler has a higher opinion of my abilities than ever I entertained myself. William Anderson brought me to it and he took down in shorthand as fast as it was spoken, William had been [-----ting?] for him for a long time before he went to the Herald Office. When he had done he introduced me to him and he charged me nothing. When did you hear from Mary, you must tell her when you hear from me and when you write to me I shall that you will let me know (sic) how she gets along. I know if you would send her a copy of the Chart she would like to see it, she often wished for it, you need not be anxious about me I never felt in better health or spirits, I should not wonder if you met me in Broadway that you might pass me without knowing me. I shall send you my likeness in a few months until you see the change that's in me. I did not shave my face since I left Liverpool and when I arrived here I found that no one here shaves only some that are newly arrived in the Country. it's only one in two hundred that you will see with a long beard. don't forget to remember me to James, in a month I will write to him and you both. Your affectionate Brother John Anderson Andrew McGuigan 121 Warren Street No 6 Staple Street New York Transcribed by Andrew S Anderson |
