Look at it this way---even if you don't care when or where a gun was shipped, a letter is the frosting on the cake-----a final touch--and a lasting memory.

Having decided it would be best to leave behind a pile of money instead of a pile of guns, I arranged to have my collection sold. It took a little over three years, but they're all gone. But for the copies of the letters on each and every one of them, I'd have nothing to remember them by. As it is, I'm a happy camper---almost as happy as when I had the guns---almost.
