Transcript

February 11 1926 Mr. W.R. Mills, General Advertising Agent, Great Northern Railway Co., St. Paul, Minnesota, Dear Mr. Mills: It is just a little over a month since I received your letter and again I am sending you the description of the bronzes. I hope the jinx won’t follow this letter. It seems to have started with one. I have written Mr. Cobb about the proposed fishing expedition but he had not had time to answer my letter. I know he is planning to go to Glacier and it is very possible that he would be delighted to see something of the eastern part of our park. Charlie has been working very in- dustriously since we came home and his work is now in such a place that we will be leaving for Los Angeles on the 20th of February to be there about three months. We hope to see you people next summer in Glacier. Sincerely,
