MR. JAMES RANKIN:
Dear Sir—
The Pekin duck eggs you shipped me arrived safely, not one broken. Would have written sooner, but waited to see result of the hatch. I have ten little beauties. Should have had thirteen, but the chicken crushed three, two were unfertile. But I am very well pleased. Thank you for such fair treatment.
Wishing you every success, yours sincerely,
B. NICKLAUS.
