� Dear Sirs, Received Bb Cornet safe, and I must say that I am more than satisfied with

it, it is just like new, the Silver-plating and Engraving is a real work of Art, and without a doubt will be admired by all bandsmen in the district. It is a presentation Cornet of the highest grade, and I am proud to be its owner, and thank all who have helped to complete such a splendid job.
