Dear Sir: It gives me pleasure to inform 

 you that the New Zealand tent which I pur- 

 chased for the Nicatous Club, and which 

 was used in Maine last summer, was in 

 every way satisfactory. It was considered, 

 by the President of the Club, and others 

 who camped in it with us, the most satis- 

 factory tent they had ever used. The guides 

 are enthusiastic in their praise of it. 

 Yours truly, 



Marshal L. Bacon.
