Item
  • -2- This Kapok mattress will float, so the manufacturers write me, 170 lbs. of live weight and between 25 and 30 lbs. dead weight, making it, therefore,, very desirable on a canoe trip. I have been wondering and trying to figure out the size of the 1% oz. tomahawk mentioned in your Summer hiking outfit, Vol. II. Would it be asking too much of you to send me a dimensional sketch of the above? Also a criticism of the sleeping bag I propose making? Hoping to hear from you in the near future, I remain Sincerely yours, Erie. H1B-B J4^o^^

  • In a letter to Horace Kephart on November 25, 1918, Horatio W. Bishop asks when Kephart’s article will be published in “Field and Stream” featuring his sketches. Mr. Bishop states his concern that the sketches may be on a smaller scale for reproduction purposes. He advertises his sketch of a new sleeping bag utilizing the O. D. Zephyer Cloth and highlights the benefits of the Kapok mattress. Bishop finally inquires of Kephart to send him a “sketch of the 12 ounce tomahawk from his summer hiking outfit.”
