725 Michigan Blvd., Pasadena, California. September 19, 1936. Mr. Edwin[sic] S. Barrie, Grand Central Art Galleries 15 Vanderbilt Ave., New York City, New York. D ear[sic] Mr. Barrie: Your air mail letter of the 17th just re- ceived and as it is Saturday afternoon, I am sending you an air mail letter instead of a telegram as you would probably receive it about the same time anyway. I will give the bronze “Where the Best of Riders Quit” to your Founder’s Show. I hope this will create a lot of interest in Russell bronze. With best wishes for the success of the Show, I am Sincerely, Air Mail
