My dear Wadsworth:-
I feel ag if the Boone and Crockett Clufc’3 collection of hunting arms ought to have a full 3erieo of the rifles^at least^which are manufactured by the important concerns of thi3 coiffitry, ar.d the only way of getting then that I know of, is to ask the people to give them, to us. Are you willing to become a party to such er. immodest proceeding, and will you authorize lie to send out to leading manufacturers of rifles a letter built somewhat on the linos of the enclosed, si^ed with your name 7
The firms that I think of to whom such a letter should be sent would be the Winchester, Marlin, Savage, Stevens, Hopkins & Alletfi and possibly the Colt, though I am not sure that the Colt make any rifles now.
I have received a gun or two, and have the promise of, a few more, but the collection will have to grov; faster than it i3, if we are to have anything to e’xhibit.
Yours sincerely,
mj
