Dr. Mr. Guernsey : Your book on Wyoming will give a great deal of pleasure to the people who are interested in what happened in our West. It will be the real think because your writing would be like Charlie’s work – the only way you could do it would be the way it was and I congratulate you on completing the work. It is with pleasure that I release the copyright on the two pictures, the Christmas card of 19 6 and Blackfeet burning the Crow Range. I am wishing you all success with your book. Most sincerely,
