From the Master of East Kent Fox-Hounds. 

 Dear Sie, — I like the brown horse you so strongly recommended me, he 

 is going on very well. I wish you would get me another, but I am in no hui-ry. 

 I consider you a judge of a hunter. 



Yours truly,

 Dear Sm,— In answer to your letter, I have much pleasure in stating that 

 I have a good opinion of your judgment in horses, and can certify to your 

 having supplied me with a wonderful animal to carry weight and go a great 

 pace with hounds ; and I have seen always "judges' horses " in your stables. 

 aU evincing soimd judgment in selection. I always think it requires a man 

 thoroughly experienced in riding to hounds (like yourself) to be a reliable 

 judge of a hunter. 



I may add that I have invariably found you to be straightforward in all the 

 many transactions that have taken place between us. 



I am, yours very faithfullv, 

 Captain Hunt. ARTHUJR SHIRLEY.

Yorkshire Club, 1869. 

 Dear Captain Hunt, — I have got a ship and must be off to China on short 

 notice. We have not much prospect of meeting again for years. I have 

 given instruction for the sale by auction of my stud here. Perhaps you will 

 have some friends you would wish those extraordinary good horses you have 

 supplied me with to go into the hands of. 



Believe me to be, with best wishes. 



Very truly yours, 



A. D. S. DENISON.

 Sip.,— I enclose an advertisement I have just put in the Scotch papers in 

 reference to the pair of horses I bought through your agency last July, and 

 which I wish now to dispose of only because mine is a heavy carriage and the 

 roads are hilly. I can warrant them to a purchaser in all particidars. 

 I am, yours truly,

 Having purchased a horse for my brougham, selected by Captain Hunt, I 

 certify that I am well satisfied with it; and that I believe him to be a trast- 

 worthy agent and a good judge of horses. 



THOS. H. COLVILLE.
