Description
Handwritten, three pages from Helen MacKay, Tenafly, New Jersey, sends Nancy C. Russell a Charles M. Russell bronze.
[1] Nancy dear. I can’t recall whether I wrote you or not that Malc is keeping both bronze so I am sending the enclosed for the one I am responsible for. It’s a splendid piece of work and Malc seems to likes it very [2] much. Is the check for the proper amount for I can’t recall quite precisely. We are all quite well. When will you be cast again. Love from us both. Maybe you’ll bring Jack to the ranch this [3] Summer. Yours Helen
