Casavant Freres LimiteeSt. Hyacinthe, Que. March 28th 1957 Dear Mr. Kolbinson:- Your letter of the 14th inst., addressed to Mr. Laframboise has been referred to the writer, and regarding our Mr. Stoot, we may tell you, that he has satisfactorily recovered from the heart attack of some months ago, but he has to be very careful and go easy. Though he has retired since September last, he comes into the office almost every day. Now about the supply of the bass of Bourdon 16-12 pipes CCC-BBB to be of the same scale as the one for the 207-U, we beg to quote the price of $200.00 plus tax but including the transportation. In connection with a new pedalboard to replace the existing parallel one with 30 keys, we beg to explain that we have discarded the manufacturing of those (30 keys) for over 20 years, and all the patterns have been thrown away. The best offer we can do, would be the reconditioning of an old one, that you could arrange to fit to your console, and this will be much cheaper in price. We are expecting an old console within a week or two. Therefore, if you are still interested in such an offer, just let us know. Yours very truly, Casavant Freres LimiteePE Servais

Letter from F.A. Anderson
Winnipeg January 31, 1961Dear Stuart,
A few evenings ago, a scotchman went across the TV screen with his bagpipes and I thought of you and the times that you used to do the same in the old Grace church when the organ was being taken down.

This instrument became my property in 1955, and was erected in a music room built for it on my farm home in Kindersley, Saskatchewan, in 1963. In 1979 I moved it to a specially built room added to my house in Victoria, where it is in almost daily use by students and others.
