My dear sir
The distance between the rings ^lengthways^ to the
ceiling is 12'-4". It seems to me the
best way to hang the "Orca" is to
sling it between the rings with a wire rope
[unclear]
tube [unclear]
[not look?]
well and
would sag.
By putting head where the tail of the
large whale is you will thus fit bulk of
weight between the rings.
I shall send you the old walrus we have back
in same box and you can credit me with
whatever the price he is worth to you.
