"GARDINER, Jan. 2, 1893. 



"DEAR SIR: The American Starwasthe fatherof the mare that Michael Johnston owned, 

 but who owned the American Star at that time I am not able to say. He was standing for 

 mares at Walkill at that time. He was tended by James Cranse, and he has been dead 

 a number of years. Michael Johnston got this mare of Bernard S. Bate when she was a 

 colt, and Bate owned the brown mare, the mother of the mare that Johnston had. This 

 is all I am able to tell about the pedigree of the mare, but of this I am positive. 



Yours truly, JAMES OSTRANDER ".
