March 23, 1 9 2 8. Mr. S. K. Keoughan, 2630 E. Cedar Ave., Denver, Colorado. Dear Mr. Keoughan: The last time I heard or talked with you, Charlie was here. At that time, you wanted to get “The Buffalo Hunt” that was in size and quality the mate to your picture, “Wagons.” I was so sorry that I could not get the picture for you as it had been sold in New York. At the time, you said you were interested in some of the Russell pictures. They are gradually getting away from me and before the best ones are gone, I would be happy to have you see what I have. So, if you are in Los Angeles and will come out to the little gallery that I have in Pasadena, I would be glad to go over all the pictures with you, giving you an opportunity to see and have a choice of all that are left. You may not care to have any other Russell pictures but if you do want them, I would be glad to serve you. I am enclosing a card, giving directions to this address, as it is rather difficult to find and would take too much of your time to hunt up the route. Sincerely, NCR; ed encl card
