Transcript

Mr. George D. Sack, Weymouth North, Novia Scotis [sic] Dear Mr. Sack, I am so sorry to hear of theillness [sic] of Madeline’s mother and I do hope that she is quite herself again so that you are all together at your beloved farm, and then that it will be possible for you to come to visit me here at Glacier. Park, but unforeseen things do turn up, and if your visit cannot be this year I hope that I will have the joy of showing you this country at some future time. We are having lots of rain so maybe it is meant that you should not come, although I believe in a week or two it will be glorious. Thank you so much for allowing me to send for three photographs of your collection of bronzes. I think they will reproduce in a catalog that I hope to get out this fall and be a great help in selling them. Regarding the de luxe edition of Charlie’s book of letters, I do not believe there will be an original in any of the books as there are none of them the right size. There can be reproductions that will be special in the deluxe. While I talk about this it comes to my mind that I will be in New York the last of October or first of November to proof read the book and approve the color work so am looking forward to seeing you people at that time. The camp here is all open and Jack happy as a tinker. I really hope you people can come. Love to you all. Sincerely, July 6, 1928
