Part 17

Dear Sir--

The ducks arrived safely and prompt, and I thank you very much for sending such fine large ducks--why they are more like geese as far as size. I also thank you for the prompt attention given my order.

The poor little duck I kept of the ones raised by me this year looks very small--only about one-third the size of those received from you, and I thought her quite a respectable size before. I've long wanted some of your ducks, and I'm very much pleased with them.

Wishing you greater success, I remain,

Respectfully yours, CLARA G. CARATU.
