Transcript

January 31st, 1928. Mr. E. E. Givins, Huntsberger, Givins Company, First National Bank Building, Great Falls, Montana. My dear Mr. Givins: Your message, also letter of the 26th, received. Thank you for the interest you have taken in my insurance. I feel I cannot carry the heavy policies on the pictures, so have given up that particular kind of coverage and gotten something else that covers here at home for a much less premium. The pictures do not travel around as they did, so this other coverage should do nicely. I would like you to keep my summer home insured as it is for the present, also the Fourth Avenue property until transferred, the I will cancel my insurance, as they will want to arrange that for themselves. As I told you, I am planning to insure my car in the Automobile Club. There are certain advantages in that, as this is my dwelling place. Thank you for your courtesy and care in the past. Sincerely, NCR--RSP
