[[pre-printed]] BANNER STONE GATES CO. Deposited by Mr. James E. Byrd [[/pre-printed]] 109 Grayson Court Suffolk, Va April 11, 1950 Museum of the American Indian Heye Foundation New York, N.Y. Dear Sirs: I have on display a Bannerstone - catalog #21/3424. In 1946 Mr. Heye offered me 25.00 for same. I regret having to sell it but am in much need of money at this time and I do not know of any-one who I would rather have it. You have been very kind to display this beautiful piece. I do not intend commercializing in Indian relics but do have 12 tommahawks, knives, arrows, Pestle & Bells etc. English trade beads all of which I picked up- Should you know some-one who is interested will appreciate the address of same. Sincerely yours, James E. Byrd
