184215444New York 1842. Addressed from "New York House of Rep.ys. Feby 21st 1842". The writer appeals to Townsend to modify a bill supporting the "Society for the Reformation of Juvenile Delinquents". He says that theaters have long acted as safe havens for wayward youth and wishes to continue as such which the bill he suggests impairs. He gives several examples: "It is only a few days since a Boy - the son of an Albany City Marshall was sent us having been guilty of stealing some 7 or 9 dollar! And this for the purpose of enabling sic him to attend a theatrical exhibition - and a Girl of our City borrowed 10 Dollars in her Aunts name for the purpose of giving to the Theater ." He concludes "it does not seem necessary to kill that law Just Now." Townsend family members were prominent Revolutionary War patriots & iron workers one manufactured the West Point Chain across the Hudson River with homes in Oyster Bay Long Island Raynham Hall & Orange County NY. 2pp on 4 leaves contemporary folds with postal stamp on outside sheet.
