May 27 1925 Mr. Ralph Budd, President, Great Nothern Railway Co., St. Paul, Minn. My dear Mr. Budd: Your letter of May 15th, Charlie received while I was in Los Angeles. If the dates of dedication of the different historical monuments come after July 11th Charlie would be happy to accept your kindness and join the party, and thank you, I would love to come too. We have already accepted an invita- tion to go to Calgary for the week of July 6th to 11th and reservations have been made for us up there. Both Chas. and I will enjoy going to the different historical points you have outlined in your letter. It is so fine, you are so interested in our old West. Chas. is doing his best to leave the record of what he has know in his time. I am enclosing a clipping. I feel sure you will approve of Montana for this mark of ap- preciation they are bestowing upon Charlie. We hope to have the pleasure of joining you. Sincerely,
