May 7th, 1898.
Mr. Horace Kephart, Librarian,
Mercantile Library, St. Louis, MO.
Dear Sir:—
We have your favor of the 5th instant, and are glad to see your
handwriting once more. We hardly think a second call will be issued for
volunteers. There is no probability that our company will manufacture the
Lee Straight Pull Rifle to take the .30 Army cartridge. We can furnish you
with our single shot rifle, with heavy round barrel, as this is a regular gun
with us. There would be no difficulty in furnishing it, and it gives most
excellent shooting.
The Model '95 gun, with box magazine, we shall not be able to furnish
to any of our friends, as our capacity has all been contracted for, for a long
time to come. If you calculate on buying guns we should like to have you
consider our single shot.
Yours r es pec t f ul ly ,
Winchester Repeating Arms Co.
