Trail’s End Pasadena, California January 11, 1928 Mr. Dan R. Conway 608 Thirteenth St. N. Great Falls, Montana Dear Mr. Conway: Your letter of January 1st and message and letter of January 4th received. I am delighted that you and the committee have succeeded so marvelously and are so content with what you have accomplished for the Russell memorial. The community will always be very proud to think that little place has been kept intact. I know exactly how Charlie’s and my friends feel about this little shrine. I am sorry the winter has been such a hard one. It is almost beyond belief when we are here in the sunshine and warmth and know that old king gold is reigning in full sway over most of the country. My kindest regards to all of my friends. Sincerely, MG
