Transcript

April 13 1925 Mr. W.R. Mills, General Advertising Agt., Great Northern R.R. Co., St. Paul, Minn. My dear Mr. Mills : In accordance with our conver- sation of recent date, I am enclosing a bill for the bronzes you selected. I have wired Tiffany Company to forward them to you at St. Paul. Mr. Russell is not quite sure you would like this effect of a painted background as a setting for a plain bronze piece, but if you do, he will make the three in proper proportion for the individual bronzes. They will cost you $1000.00 for the three. These pictures will simp- ly be complimentary and background for the bronze, you arrange the light and draping effect as you planned when here. Sincerely,
