Description
Typed letter to Sir Henry Pellett about Charles M. Russell having a collection of his paintings at the stampede in August and that if Pellett would like to see them prior to it being open to the public that would be possible.
Apgar, Montana Sir Henry Pellett Toronto, Canada Dear Sir: Guy Weadick, the Manager of the Stampede to be held in Calgary, August 25th to 30th, requested I should let you know that Mr. Russell is having another col- lection of his painting there at that time. He also suggested you might possibly like to make an appointment to see the collection before they were open to the Public, as he seemed to think you wished to add to your Russel[sic] collection. I will be glad to show you the work at your con- venience. Very truly, R’D
