Mr. 1:alter reen wood )lantersville, Texas Dear Sirs Vie have yours of the 21st and in reply I beg to say that it seems to no that you are asking us earlier every year to take the turkeys. I will let you know as soon as possible about how many we will need but none of us can take ua.ny at a time for the simple reason that our boxes in the oold stora e vault only holds about five or six turkeys and if put in the big coolin r om they are subject to be taked by the government at any time. This has happened on two or three different occasions to others who have had turkeys here and we don't want it to happen to re. . to 6h.e cxcoy I ieve ta~t ' cu ai aa t '. 're s amk you a few coops out of old lumber that they have if we can get the chicken wire and if not the chicken wire they could be made out of slats. If you want us to\have any made please let cio knot; the size that you desire.
