Transcript

July 27, 1932 Mrs. Charles M. Russell, “Trail’s End”, 725 Michigan Blvd., Pasadena, Cal. Dear Mrs. Russell:- We have a client who wishes to get an important Russell painting and who is limited to an expenditure of $3000. I wonder if you have one that you would care to sell at that price or if not if you know where one can be purchased. It has been a long time since you have been east and I am wondering when we are going to have the pleasure of seeing you again. Sincerely, [signed] Erwin S. Barrie Manager. ESB:RMM
