President Roosevelt would like two exact duplicates of his gun made. However, the silver plate on the stock of one gun should be engraved with the initials “C. M.” and the stock of the other gun should read “H. M.” The two duplicate guns and “one ordinary gun of the same model” should be sent to Clive Metcalf in Mississippi. A handwritten order is included with the letter.
