Transcript

August 17, 1931. Mr. W. J. McCormick Missoula, Montana. My dear Mr. McCormick: Mrs. Bielenberg sent me the clipping containing the resolution you so kindly presented to the Society of Sons and Daughters of Montana Pioneers and which they unanimously passed. It is very gratifying to me to have some of Charlie’s Montana friends understand and ask for a worthy statue to represent him in the Hall of Fame. I hope to be able to thank you in person when I pass through Missoula the last of the week. Sincerely,
