Transcript

June 5, 1929. Mr. Blendon R. Campbell, 3 Washington Square, N., New York City. Dear Mr. Campbell: I very much regret that I was unable to dispose of more of your lovely pic- tures but, somehow, I have done very little with my own this year and, for fear I would be causing you to lose a possible sale on some of these things, I have returned them to you be prepaid express and hope that they get through okeh[sic]. Please find enclosed my check for $100.00 for the one picture that is not in the bunch. The Risleys will be leaving on the tenth so you people will be seeing them very soon now and they can give you more of an outline of what our winter has been. Very best wishes to you all. Sincerely, NCR:ED encl ck
