Beachy, 1000 Krenek Tap Road, College Station, 77840, 409/764 -3773 Dear Mr. Schultz: We have ordered the above - referenced marker for casting. The completed marker should be ready for shipment within 12 weeks. A copy of the final inscription as it was sent to the foundry is enclosed for your files. According to our records, the marker should be shipped to the address above. If these instructions have changed during the marker process, please let me know as soon as possible so that I may notify the foundry. If you have not already done so, this would be a good time to begin planning the marker dedication ceremony. However, please avoid setting the dedication date until the marker is received. The estimated shipping date above does not take into account potential shipping problems or other unforseen delays, and the best laid dedication plans could be upset if planned around this time estimate. We will notify you and all parties listed below once the marker has been shipped from the foundry. A guide to planning a dedication ceremony is available from our office upon request. Since this is a state program, we suggest that your state senator and/or representative be included in the program, as well as your county judge and commissioners who have appointed your county historical commission. Enclosed is a form for announcing the dedication in the THC's bi- monthly newsletter, The Medallion; in the marker dedication calendar, which is distributed to agency commissioners and staff; and in the monthly News for County Historical Commissions, once details have been finalized. Again, please let me know if there has been a change in the shipping address, or if you would like a marker dedication guide. Sincerely, .
