Default Letter for 'Lifter'

I just received a PGCA letter for my Parker, #10250. It was ordered by an individual listed as 'G.I. Moorhead' in Brownsville, Pennsylvania. The date given is October 13, 1877. The cost was $50.00, which must have been a tidy sum, especially for a 'field grade' gun. My gun is still in its original configuration. I will have to see if I can find out something about this fellow. I found some interesting websites for various counties in Pennsylvania. The only catch is, unless someone enters specific info (due to their own research) G.I. Moorhead's name may not be found.
