Bill M---The letter reads as follows:
"Parker shotgun serial number 59683, was ordered by E.K. Tryon in Phia;delphia, Pa. on January 25, 1890 and shipped on February 27, 1890. According to Parker Bros. Order Book No. 26 it was a PH hammerless, 12 gauge. It featured Twist steel barrels with a length of 30 inches. Its stock configuration was a capped pistol grip. The chokes were patterned RH full(180 #8 pellets in a 24 inch circle at 45 yards) and LH full(180 #8 pellets in a 24 inch circle at 45 yards). According to Parker Stock Book No. 21, its specifications were: Length of Pull 14 1/4", Drop at Heel 2 3/4". Weight 7 pounds and 4 ounces. The price was $65.00"

That was the body of the letter with no mention of any upgrades!
