Reproduced 2004 This item is from a collection of memorabilia belonging to Thompson Westcott (1820-1888), editor of the Philadelphia Sunday Dispatch from the mid to later 1800s. Westcott was a noted writer, author and historian, and was known to have carefully maintained scrapbooks of newspaper clippings and ephemera. He was closely connected to the power brokers and social movers of Philadelphia. Much of the collection is of a political nature, while other items pertain to important events in Philadelphia in the middle years of the 19th century. We will be offering this fine collection over the next several months. This is Westcott's invitation from the Camden & Atlantic Rail Road Company to participate in an excursion to Atlantic City on May 14th, 1873, leaving from the Vine Street Wharf, Philadelphia.
