Dear Mr. Kraus. I am the principal author of the new L.C.Smith book, which is scheduled to go into the production/printing process on Nov.15,2006. However, that can be temporally delayed and I would be most happy to do so if you would be kind enough to allow us to photograph at least some of your famous great grandfathers guns. The book photographer is Terry Allen one of the very best gun photographers in the country and I would be happy to send him to California at your pleasure. The book already has a substantial section devoted to the famous Albert E. Kraus, including his sketches,paintings, carvings in ivory and old Hunter Arms Co. black and white pictures of guns engraved at the time. Obviously, I can't think of a better way to honor his great legacy than to include some of his personal guns in that section of the book. Should you and your family be so kind as to consider this request and want to explore the possibilities further ,please contact me at your earliest opportunity.
