Gentlemen,
I've arrived at the Milliken house, receiving a warm welcome as always. You are correct Mr. Perry, the gun is all a pigeon gun should be, 34 inch barrels, high stock, sans safety, a positive killer. Again my thanks to Mr. Flanigan for providing it. He wasn't able to be with us this evening but is here in spirit as his name has often been on our lips.
Mr. Bishop,
Gunsmith Bickel has suggested visiting Wing Pointe on Sunday just as you mention. I'm always keen for any chance at pigeon shooting. So, should things work in my favor, I'll be on the grounds sometime in the afternoon.
I've heard from Kaas and Kimble via wire, they're awaiting my arrival in the small hours at the old Sprinkle Mansion north of Chestertown. The weather is a bit fair for my taste, hopefully the fowl will cooperate with us come morning.
Regards,
Bogardus
