" March 23, 1884. 



" Please send me a dozen cock winged duns (March and October 

 shade) similar to the half-dozen I had from you. They are Ai. The 

 water here is getting fine, and, as I expected, the merits of your 

 accuracy of colours and perfect material are becoming manifest. 



"G. H. DICKIN." 



[From Later Letter.] 



"October 29, 1886. 



"The flies are exquisitely tied, and though the quill gnats were not 

 ordered, I have decided to keep them, as they are so good. 



"G. H. DICKIN." 



" Stansfield Cottage, Littleboroygh, near Manchester, 



" August 4th, 1884. 



" Will you please forward, per early post, Flies, as other side. I have 

 tried flies by many other makers, but find none equal to yours. 



" JOHN HEAP." 



" Thornton-in- Craven, Leeds, 



"April yth, 1884.

"Last April Mr. Whitmore found Messrs. Foster's 'Intermediate'
