Sirs,

The description below describes a musket that was stolen from our house in Northampton, MA in early January. We are not gun collectors. It is a family heirloom that has been in our family for a long time. We are devastated about this loss.

If you see or hear about this musket, I would very much appreciate it if you could notify me by email or by phone at (413) 585-9611. Please also pass this along to anyone who might come across it.

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Sincerely,

Barbara Williams
