Dear Sir:-
We have your favor of the 11th and would say that the .30
single shot could only be supplied you in sporting form. It would be
a very difficult and expensive matter to put on a heavy barrel like that
in musket form. It would be almost impossible to fit the forearm in the
frame; it would have to be very thin on the edges. New band, new tips
and a new bayonet hilt would have to be made, which would be almost
prohibitory.
Regarding rates, would say that we are sorry that our arrangements with
the St. Louis dealers are such that we shall have to refer you to them.
The Simmons Howe Company could supply you with the guns and we hope you
can favor them. The gun itself with the regular No. 3 barrel and plain
sporting sights lists at $20.00. Special sights and other additions would
of course be extra according to list.
Yours respectfully,
Winchester Repeating Co.,

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 ,
