Transcript

July 13, 1928 Mrs. Nancy Russell, Bull Head Lodge, Belton, Montana Dear Mrs. Russell: Thank you for your good note of July sixth and I think we can arrange a small exhibition of bronzes early in November. I am of the opinion that this would look well in the Panel Room which you occupied last year. We will be very glad to see you and happy to feature the bronzes. Am sorry about the error in the 1928 Year Book. We had the correct title, but apparently got hold the wrong bronze when we were having them photographed. However, we will see that the correct bronze is shown and chosen in the exhibition. It seems impossible to avoid one or two mistakes of this kind each year although we have tried to be extremely careful in publishing this book. Looking forward to seeing you and with kindest wishes, Very tuly[sic] yours, [signed]Erwin S. Barrie Manager. ESB:S
