From Whitney, The Outing Magazine, "Didn't I buy 'The Mad Cow' from you?" Friendly letter.

W/D November 14, 1907. Dear Charlie Russell:- Didn’t I buy “The Mad Cow” from you? I certainly was under the impression that I had, but to-day when I was looking around for it I couldn’t find it. How’s the world wagging with you? I see you are turning out some good work and I want to tell you how it pleases me to know it. Don’t you get impatient Charlie Russell, - you are doing all right. You are putting on canvas a phase of life that is fast passing, and you are making a name for yourself as an illustrator and really a historian. Good luck to you! I wish this magazine was my very own and I could combine the business as well as the editorial management in one. If I could, I would have you in the maga- zine every month; and that’s no mere bouquet that I am throwing at you. My best regards to the Missis – she’s all right too, and don’t you ever forget it. Sincerely yours, [signed] Caspar Whitney C.M. Russell, Esq., Great Falls, Montana.
