Handwritten, from George D. Sack, September 5, 1929, request for bronzes "The Lunch Hour", "Wrangler".

[1] 9/5/29 Dear Nancy: Glad to receive your kind letter. Now the most important thing I know of to write about is that we had a table [illegible] tipping the other evening & Charlie & Madeleine’s Mother came through very strong & I asked Charlie about the book & its title, Infact[sic] we had quite a talk about it & Charlie said he liked the title “Good Medicine” & when I said it was good medicine the table rocked fast back & forth which denotes pleasure or laughter. So we are in a position now to insist on the title being “Good Medicine” & when I said it was good medicine the table rocked fast back & forth which denotes pleasure or laughter. So we are in a possission[sic] now to insist on t he title being “Good Medicine” as it is Charlie’s wish. I know you will be pleased. [2] About the “Lunch Hour”. If I am not mistaken Wallice told me of piece of bronze in the museum in Rome very much like the “Bug Hunters” that was called “The Lunch Hour;” I think I have heard you mention it. Enclosed is a picture from the article in Touring Topics. That is all I know about it. If I am wrong & cann’t[sic] have a cast just let me know & I will weep silently all by myself. I haven’t a Ran “Wrangler” Nancy; but if the face can be fixed as Charlie would wish it, I mean a fine likeness then I would be interested in one. You are coming east this fall aren’t you for the opening of “Good Medicine” ? I hope Mr. Maul[sic] can get the consent of the letter owners to exhibit them. What a wonderful send off for the book it would be. With kindest regards all around Yours sincerely [signed] George D. Sack
