Transcript

GEO.H.CHARLS [CANTON , OHIO crossed out] Cleveland, Ohio. June 12,1928. Dear Mrs. Russell: I am very appreciative of your efforts to locate Mr. Russell's picture entitled “Whose Meat.” I was interested in this picture only because of a personal experience. I admired the photograph of the picture called "Stranglers," very much but I would not be interested in purchasing it, and therefor [sic] would not think of having you go to the trouble or take the chance of having it marred in sending it on for inspection. I am sorry I cannot find trace of "Whose Meat" but I presurne the owner would not care to part with it even if we were successful in finding it. I am sorry to have put you to all this trouble and I wish to let you know I am very grateful for your interest. Very truly yours, [signed] Geo H. Charls Nancy c. Russell, Trail's End , 725 Michigan Blvd., Pasadena, Calif.
