Typed letter from Nancy C. Russell to Mr. Joseph M. Dixon dated 26 May 1931; thanks Dixon for the letter and his support of her cause, states that Senator Walsh is also a great help.

May 26, 1931. Mr. Joseph M. Dixon, Department of Interior Washington, D.C. My dear Mr. Dixon: Yours of May 19th received and I thank you for your promptness in lending your strength to try to prevent the model that seems to have been accepted from filling that niche. My hope is that the Governor and the Commission will reconsider without my having to go to the last extremity to bring an injunc- tion against the State of Montana but, as I feel at the present time, if it is necessary, I will do it, although I have never been in court in my life. I had a very encouraging letter from Senator Walsh and he, like you, has the State and also Charlie’s memory very much at heart. With such influ- entail people holding the ideal in mind the right model will be found to represent Charlie and the State as they should be represented? I shall appreciate any suggestions or ideas from you that will help me to untangle this un- fortunate mess. I am sorry but the picture that I have of you and Charlie is only in mind’s eye. Memory car- ries me back over the years with such clearness that I gave you the wrong impression but I am going to send you a photograph of Charlie which I think is very good. They are ordered and will be ready for me within the week. If you are in Montana next summer and our trails should cross I should be so happy to see you and confer with you. Sincerely,
