From Cole, January 21, 1925, two pages to Nancy C. Russell, sent check for $6065, balance in full on "The Headman" and "Where Guns Were Their Passports", and the bronzes "Bucker and Buckaroo" and "The Medicine Man".

January 21, 1925 PGC:EG Mrs. Charles M. Russell c/o Harlow Art Galleries, 712 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Dear Mrs. Russell: I am sending you herewith by registered mail my check No. 457 for $6,065.00, this being the balance in full due on my two pictures – “The Headman” and “Where Guns were their Passports” , and the two bronzes “Bucker and Buckeroo” and “The Medicine Man”. Either Mrs. Cole or a messenger from my office will stop by probably about 11 o’clock on Friday morning to pick up “Where Guns were their Passports” and take it home. As per our conversation over the telephone, I will leave the “Bucker and Buckeroo” with you until you get another copy to show in your present exhibition, although I will be glad to get this also just as soon as you feel you can spare it, for we are having some people out that we are very anxious to show these things two[sic]. If you find that you can spare this on Friday, kindly also give this to Mrs. Cole or my messenger. I am sorry not to have been able to get in lately to feast my eyes on Charlie’s wonderful things, but have been tied up with sickness at home and heavy pressure of business. We are still looking forward to the pleasure of having you and Charlie out to dine with us some day next week, but are hesitating to set a definite day on account of the sick- ness of our little girl. [next] -2- I surely hope to see you again, but in case I should not am sure that you will not forget about getting Charlie to write the descriptions with discussed. With every good wish for the continued success of your exhibition here and in Washington, and again after you get home, I am Sincerely your friend, [signed] Philip G. Cole Encl. (1)
