Transcript

June 21, 1927 Mr. Erwin S. Barrie Grand Central Art Galleries 15 Vanderbilt Avenue New York, N.Y. Dear Mr. Barrie: Please find enclosed copy of the price list of the Russell Bronze. I am sorry you lost the former one because the last two bronzes sold were the old price which means little profit so please mark all the bronzes you now have after this list. I will be in Montana until some time in September. My postoffice [sic] address will be Apgar, Montana. I have gotten a few duplicate notices or bronzes delivered to your Gallery and so I know they are gradually supplying you with the Russell collection. Thank you for the interest you have taken in the work. Sincerely.
