OPINION

WILSON, Justice.

Judgment in these non-jury actions was rendered August 16, 1967. There was no motion for new trial. The appeal bond was filed September 7, 1967. No notice of appeal in any manner prescribed by Rule 353, Texas Rules of Civil Procedure was given.

On August 25, 1967 a letter from appellant’s counsel addressed to the district clerk was received by the clerk. It referred to the style and number of the cause and read: “I would appreciate your furnishing me with an estimate of the necessary costs to be used in determining an appeal bond to appeal the above case to the Court of Civil Appeals.” An appeal bond was filed September 14.

The letter inquiring as to an estimate of the amount of costs is not a notice of appeal. We have no jurisdiction. The appeals are dismissed.
