[Old and Reliable]

Roger- I would very much like to see this letter, if you would be so kind as to post a copy here, or perhaps submit it for a later issue of Parker Pages. The late Captain Paul A. Curtis, also Van Campen Heilner, were two of my favorite gunning/hunting authors from the 1930's, and I treasure the copies of their books I own. I recently heard a rumor that Captain Curtis died by his own hand in 1945-46, which saddens me greatly. He set the standard for manners afield with his words "The Field Is The Touchstone Of The Man"!!
