The Ward Fence Co.
Decatur, Ind.

Gentlemen:

You remember that I bought a fence from you several years ago, and on one of the doors the hooks broke off, that is, on the fence where the door is hung at. The door eyes are all right, but the hooks on the fence rusted off. I wish you would send me two hooks which fasten on the fence so I can hang the door on again. Outside of this the fence is holding out fine. I am keeping the same painted every year, and she looks just as good as it did when we first made the same. You will find me on your Books when I bough the fence about in 1910 or 1911 to recall your memory what kind of fence I bought, so you can send me the right kind of hooks, which fasten on the post, where the Gate hands on.

Hoping you will do this for me, I am yours very truly,

R. Pappe
