Transcript

August 10, 1931 Mr. S.E. Schaudies C.M. Russell Memorial Great Falls, Montana. Dear Mr. Schaudies: I sent the pedestal by today’s prepaid express for the bust of Charlie. As I think it over, I believe you should put it in the big room to get distance but you use your own judgment in placing it. It is made of the cedar on the place that Charlie spent so many happy summers. Sincerely,
