We expect to find the boat as stated in page 2 your letters, in sound condition throughout and completely equipped having all the usual qualities of that year boat (1936 Gar 18' footer 294 cc) as to performance and finish. On trial to come up to these qualities in the characteristic manner. I am glad we have been able to instigate this deal to our mutual accord and satisfaction. Enclosed please find a note to give to Renny for the Gray 103 Phantom. I will write him also. Yours truly R.B. Watson Jr. P.S.
