Draper and Company, Xn^*,
231 Sumer Street, ■
Boston, Mass*
I Gentlemens

Have Just thia minute returned from Buffalo and am
hurrying things to get these papers In th© air mil.
Received your telegrams, and confiinn my reply to your
first me, as follows:

*My office reported today Silberman contracted twenty-five
hundred ‘fleeces Gasper at Twenty cents stop I have approx­
imately tv/enty thousand fleeces tied up with pre shearing
loons stop Seven thousand Casper balance Buffalo stop All
small clips frewa sixteen grov/ers stop Larger clips will
soon follow stop Grov/ers are beginning to take hold and
doing a great deal of talking stop Sevei’e criticism of
our plan by competitors stop Casper Thureday night.”
Your second message waiting for me on arriving at the office,
and so for as I can learn there is nothing to renort so far aa
competitors are concerned, other than the clip.of 2500 fleecea
Silbexnaan contracted yesterday, aa above confirmation.
X liave three sets of papers waiting for mortgage release,
wl ioh I had to send into th© country, but will forward them in a
day or so. Thero are no drafts Issued against these papers so
there will be no overlapping on them.
I

I wish, upon receipt of this, and after you have had time
.to examine these papers, you would wire me if they ar© O.K. There
ar© BO many things to remember that I am a little anxious about
them.
In this connection, I wish to call your attention to the
Clerk’s Certificate covering Dave A. Elson. We discovered, upon
examining those papers, that the Clerk in Johnson County failed to
affix the seal to this particular certificate, and I have Instructed
him to issue duplicate and mall It direct to your office at once.

I have every reason to believe that I will get a large
tonnage, as you expect. I am hoping that I may land at least a
part of the French Pool from Johnson County, and if the word of
several of the Frenchmen means anything, X know that I will succeed
in getting a nice tonnage from them.

�Our competitors are, of course, putting out all sorts
of propoganda, misstatements, etc., but I think in every instance
it is acting as a boomerang to them, for It is only calling atten­
tion more strongly to our proposition, which is meeting with the
approval of all woolgro.vers and all the banks.

Yours very tinily.

                <text>Roy B. Minty was a livestock broker out of Casper, WY. His office was located in the lobby of the Henning Hotel. Researchers will find letters and telegrams exchanged between Minty and Draper and Draper Incorporated Wool out of Boston, Massachusetts among other items of potential interest to the sheep and wool industry in Wyoming during the 1930s. Minty's papers consist of correspondence, data on Wyoming sheep ranchers from 1934, correspondence in regard to the Careyhust Ranch from 1937-1939, information on a Wind River Day School lamb sale, as well as ledgerbooks, settlement slips, bills of sale, contracts, agreements, and more. These records date from the late 1920s to the late 1930s.</text>
