Transcript

February 14th, 1 9 2 9 Mrs. Nancy C. Russell, 725 Michigan Blvd., Pasadena, California Dear Mrs. Russell:- I have been asked by one of my Great Falls friends to write to you for a little information. Some several months ago I was given the name of a firm in Los Angeles that does bronze casting , of the same nature as that done by the Roman Bronze Company. It seems to me that you save me this name before but I do not seem to have it in my files. As I recall it, this particular man was formerly associated with the Roman Bronze Company but went to either Los Angeles or San Francisco and opened up for himself. If you can give me this information I will appreciate it very much, at as early a date as possible. Thanking you very kindly for this favor, I am, Sincerely yours, [signed] Dan Conway DCR-r
