Transcript

July 6, 1933 Mr. W. St. John Miller 703 Second Street West Calgary, Alberta Dear Mr. Miller: A draft for $4,400.00 was forwarded to you yesterday from the Northwestern National Bank of Minneapolis. I could not get the exchange here in Great Falls. I did not deduct any commission on the painting, and I also paid on transportation, etc., $58.07, to get the painting out of bond, so if you and your client feel that it is right, send me a check for $100.00 and I will call it my commission. I think we were fortunate to sell the picture for cash. My address will be Belton, Montana, until September 1. Thank you for taking care of me in this matter, and will you kindly let me know as soon as the draft is received. Sincerely, NR/er
