  I have a large

Mountain Lyon to stuff for a merchant in town. And I would ask you as a favour to send me two arti- fical eyes for the anim- al also give me some instructions, concerning how to do it or send me a Book treating on the subject. I would like to know how it is done for my own divertion although I do not exsp- ect to be a professional taxidermist. But when I get out of here I shall exspect to do some more hunting for you
