Description
Typed letter from James Rankin to Homer E. Britzman dated Feb. 28, 1939, Britzman is not interested in Mr. Wright's painting; Phil Weinard's pictures, Rankin claims, are unquestionably original Russell's; Churchill Mehard, former friend of Charles M. Russell, wishes to sell an original modeling; asks Britzman to phone Bill Hart, who has several very humorous pictures with a poem by "Redyard Skipling" (Charles M. Russell).
