course, I don't mean to brag; never bragged in my 

 life, but they do say all over the world that Colonel 

 Hawn of Tennessee, is one of the finest. 



Here's hoping I'll soon meet you and some of the 

 boys at our beautiful club ; have an interview with 

 "Col. Braddock", embellished with some of Old Vir- 

 ginia's finest grass, and gather around the "Round 

 Table", where I will tell you of some of my really 

 wonderful experiences and adventures on my per- 

 sonally conducted tours on the tributaries of the 

 Potomac. 



Mr. Rudolph Kauffmann being jealous of my repu- 

 tation as a fisherman and wishing to get in "my class" 

 was permitted to accompany me on a little fishing trip 

 on the South Branch. He can tell you all about it. 

 What I did to the fish and Mr. Kauffmann "was a 

 plenty." Rudolph says, "He never will forget it; 

 is was marvelous." Modesty keeps me from writing 

 more.
