I am very excited to share with you people what I received in the mail today. I won this piece at auction a few weeks ago a Letter written by the Great Carl E. Akeley father of modern Taxidermy The letter is undated but it’s at least 100 years Old it’s Difficult to read
To Mrs Doubleday
I am so sorry that I cannot accept your invitation for the end of the week. I am booked to 'choperome'(?) the British Mums(?) Farms. �I want very much to all you(?) - “it seems a long time between drinks�Going to Hartford today but expect to be back tomorrow about noon, and would love to have you come by the shop while you are in town
Sincerely Yours
Carl. E Akeley
I am glad to be able to take care of this little piece of history and make it last many more years 💙
