John Philippart correspondence

2 letters written to Philippart.
(1) From Herman Hendriks, 2 Copthall Chambers, [London]. Enclosing a document [?printed prospectus of the Haytien Banking Company]: '... if you felt disposed to join the Direction, after I had explained its nature to you, it would afford me pleasure' (26 May 1836).
(2) From William Wildey, 3 Agar Street, Strand, [London]. 'You were good enough to say some short time since, that when I was prepared to come before the public, with my substitute for horse-hair, that you would give me a helping hand in your valuable gazette ... I am now in that position, having a large quantity of the cocoa-nut fibre broke up.' Invites inspection of articles filled with coconut fibre and encloses a printed prospectus which sets out its merits over other kinds of stuffing, with testimonials and a list of institutions using the fibre, including the police, prisons, hospitals and Poor Law Unions (28 July 1836).
Both letters are autograph, with signatures.
