Fritz Wilhelm, jr„ received a let-
ter recently from Mr, Bold in ro-
■ spor.se to a communication os' Wil-
I helm's inquiring about Bord's stock.
The following extract from the let-
ter has considerable interest in view
of the present price of muttons:
“Your name and the ranch name
takes me back many years—Sl-'sJ
I think. I was working for Louis
Purcez of San Antonio and
j bought from your father. I expect
I at your ranch. 500 head of mutton
sheep. 1 paid $1.87 which was a big
' price those days. I knew I would
not make a cent on :hem but I
wanted them as they were the fin-
est muttons 1 had ever seen.
"If I remember rightly, your
ranch was not very far from the
j old Block House on the San Saha
river. Also, if my memory serves
me correctly, your ranch was quit c
I. pen. very little or no thorny brush
and rolling mesquite land. It should
he ideal for Corriedales.”
Mr. Wilhelm oidercd one first-
I class Corricdale ram which is being
(shipped by express and will cost
! him between $75 and $1 ", a price
I which he considers reasonable, so
i long as the grade :' his stock can
be improved.
