Hello

I'm sure this is a big ask, can anything be done with Patrick ?

Thanks in eternal gratitude

Brilliant, Thank you. Obviously I've never really seen him before but now feel
just a little bit closer to him. He was a real character and spent years trying to
prove we were heirs to the Hilton fortune but sadly failed, still I do have a book
where he transcribed all the letters he sent from Liverpool to New Orleans and New
York and pretty much everywhere else and also some replies. He had beautiful writing
for someone you would assume was uneducated as he was a rigger on merchant ships.
This is the only photograph in existence of him.

Thanks again.

hi, do we have a date for him? I'd love to know when he was alive and when the pic was taken!
