Chuck, I do have a letter from you for the 1887 hammer under the name of G.D. Jay. Thanks for checking the other names.

Tom, you are right, I missed the letter with G.D. Jay in it. I searched the archived letters for the word "Jay". It brought up all the letters with that word in it however it just showed the first instance of Jay in the letter and that was usually who ever ordered the letter. If there were multiple words with Jay in the letter I wouldn't have known it unless I opened up the entire letter. That's when I found G.D. Jay on the letter I wrote for you. Is that a relative of yours?

G.D. Jay was my great-grandfather. He was also an early breeder of Llewellin setters. Lived in Kokomo, IN.
