Gentlemen :— I have seen the three Mountain Bison Heads at your place, which were mounted by 

 W. F. Wittich, and the work is the finest I ever saw. The addition to the head and neck of one shoulder and 

 the hump makes a fine relief for the head. The slight curve in the neck which causes the neck to wrinkle, is 

 what I term art in taxidermv. The heads are beauties in every detail. They are very dark and the fur is 

 prime I have seen heads of Buffalo with straight necks, that sold for $1,000 a piece, but would prefer one of 

 these to any I ever saw. If you continue to turn out such taxidermy as this you are sure to meet with success, 

 which you certainlv deServe. I have seen the' advertisement in Recreation, and the cuts there do not do 

 justice to the heads. Yours truly, 



JOHN E. DAVIS.
