ROCKAWAY, N. J., Jan. 9, 1905.

MR. JAMES RANKIN:

Dear Sir--

The two ducks and a drake you shipped me arrived in good condition. They are the finest birds of their class I ever saw. Different people who have examined them say they are the biggest and best ducks they ever looked at.

Yours resptfully

MR. JAS. RANKIN, South Easton, Mass.:

Dear Sir--

Just as the ducks came to hand I was called away from home, hence the delay in acknowledging receipt of them. They arrived safe and well, and it is but due to you to say, in size and beauty they exceeded my most sanguine expectations. They are indeed handsome birds. Many persons who saw them took them to be geese. I thank you for your promptness in filling my order, etc.

Yours truly, V. S. KILBY.

I. W. Morgan, Sr.,

Sec'y-Treas.
