THOMAS CREIGHTON
1327 FOULKROD STREET
FRANKFORD, PHILA., PA.

Feb 8 1924

Mr. H.O. Tanner

Dear sir,

I hope you will pardon me a stranger in writing you but from the article in to days Ledger my thoughts go back many years to a building on Chestnut St. now the Record office, and the room occupied by Billy McClean. I write to you in regard Mr Hess, he lived in Frankford and I was one of the bearers the day of his funeral. I am connected with our local historical society and often thought I would like to find "some account" of his life and work. He always seemed to me to have talent and an intense love for the beautiful and the fine arts. Through George Murphy I often visited the rooms that you both occupied.
