Draper &amp; Compan, Inc.,
231 Suxmer Street,
Boston, I^ss.
Gentlemen:

Another queeticm camo up thle noraing vlth reference to
the marketing agreement, in connection with the enclosed contract
with John J« Sullivan.

Li*. Leo Dunn, who released the ;..ortgafee on Sullivan’s
wool, was a little skeptical about doing so, after reading the
contract wMch allows the gro.zer to withdraw any time by so indi­
cating his wish to do so, between the 15th and the Slat day of
.Ally, any given year.
He was wondering if, by signing the mortgage release this
year, if it might become obligatory with his bank to continue to
release it Indefinitely. Or if It Just applied for th© current
year. Will you please give mo this information?

Also, I am asked a hundred times a day what method will
be used in appraising the wools at sheering time. This seems to
be a great line for our corapetltora, who like to leave the im­
pression with growers that that’s the "nigger In th© woodpile". *
Of course I have been unable to give them any definite
information on this point and have suggested that possibly a
blanket value might be placed on the various counties,, where
wools are more or loss similar, by striking un average value,
. and in the event of an ei*ror being made either for or aInst
any particular clip. It mlgiit easily be adjusted la Boston, where
the wools are properly graded, and If a difference occurt.. It could
then be either charged or credited to the grower. However, I have
not put this out as definite, but simply to combat the lino of
•
talk put out by our competitors. So, if you can give me something
definite on this, the last stumbling block will be removed.

In reply to a telegram I sent last night to Homer I?ranta
at Fiawlins, have Just received the following:

"Nothing sold or contracted thus for
quiring until thia morning."

Delayed in­

The only deal that has been made by any of our competitors,
la the one I reported as made by Silberman. That, in detail, is as
follows: Bobby Richmond, local representative of Silberman at Torland, and working under instructions from Jeremiah I4ahoney of Ca;p er.

�contracted 2500 fleeces from Vincent Escalllor, a young Frenchman.
X made two small contracts in Casper .this morning* which
are in the air nail today.
If you would like a statement weekly or daily of contracts
completed and in the mail* please so advise.
A third contract executed this morning will he delayed
for a few days awaiting mortgage release from Bank at Hanna* Wyo.
Yours very truly.

                <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>
