Typed letter from Nancy C. Russell to Dr. 'Doc' Houston dated May 15, 1937 about wanting to sell the Bull head Lodge property at the lake due to not be able to go to the lake the following summer because of health.

725 Michigan Blvd., Pasadena, California. May 15th, 1937. Dr. Rodney Houston, B e l t o n, Montana. Dear “Doc”: It is very doubtful that I will be able to come to the Lake again this summer and it is a shame for that place of mine to stand there for the mice and rats to make a home in. My physician has not given me the verdict but I fear my heart will never all[o]w me to climb around much or take the responsibility of as large a place as Bull Head Lodge. It has occurred to me that as you contact more people, it is possible you might know of a buyer for my place. I don’t suppose the Government has any money at this time to put into property in the National Parks but you would know that too and if the com- mission would be interesting to you, I would like to hear from you. Please consider this confidential as I would rather the people who live around Apgar would not know that I am thinking about selling. My kindest regards to you and your nice little wife and I hope some day to go fishing with you down the river. Sincerely,
