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.

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.
Parker Bros
