Mr. Gordon,

As you may recall from our last correspondence my request for an additional set of barrels for my order was unable to be filled. I have calculated the savings of the barrels and with a small windfall from Uncle Sam I would like to request an additional Parker.

I would like a GHE grade also in 28 gauge with the afore mentioned 30 inch barrels. Instead of the usual floor plate engraving I'd like the portrait of my upstart pup Ike within the circle, please refer to the enclosed photograph. Same stock dimensions as previous order.

Please advise on the additional cost of upgraded wood and skeleton but treatment.

Yours Truly,
C.O.B.

Without pictures, IKE doesn't exist. Let's see the pup.

I notice that no one has dared to order a 32" .410, probably because we believe it can't be built. However, rumor has it that such a gun does exist. I don't know who owns it, but I think I know who used to own it. Knock yourselves out, I won't order it. Someone step up to the plate.

John Dallas, thank you for the recognition. In the next couple of years, I will try to remedy this doubt. After 25 years with "The Lovely Linda", I am not so much a hermit. I am almost ready to make a hotel reservation for the Southern, have filled my gas tank and brought my tires up to pressure in preparation.

Mr. Anderson:

We are glad to learn of the windfall you are to receive from your uncle. We sincerely hope these funds are not part of a posthumous bequest.

Regarding the added cost for upgrades, there will be none owing to the fact that your status as a Parker customer to date has been extraordinary.
