Letter from Rufus A. Grider, 12 February 1890

Canajoharie N. Y. . Gents I desire to ascertain whether your Ass[ociatio]n posess any of the old fashioned [FIGURE] Powder Horns? If so—are they engraved? Do you know of others elsewhere? A collection of PICTURES of such are being collected for Historical purposes—not for sale—or for gain—but to be placed on Exhibition at the Worlds Fair in 1892. Please let me know whether such exist with you—if such as formerly belonged to the noted men who first braved the unknown could be copied—it would add interest to the Collection & preserve the history of the original maker and owner also. Only such as are engraved would be of service. Please answer & oblige Rufus A. Grider of the Mohawk Hist Society at Canajoharie N. Y.
