[1] June 22, 1908. Mr. Caspar Whitney, 35-37 W. 31 St., New York City. My dear Mr. Whitney; Please find enclosed receipt for “Buffalo Days” singed by Chas. for which we thank you. I am sorry to say we don’t either one of us remember having been paid for “Long Rope’s Last Guard”, but if you have the return check signed by us that is all thereis[sic] to it. I am sorry to have caused you the bother of looking it up and will promise to keep better accounts hereafter. I hope you have caught your breath and things have brightened up in a business way. I am mighty glad to say the blizzard has not affected us to speak of and Chas. now has about as much work to do as usual. If nothing happens to prevent you may see us in New York this coming winter, that is,if[sic] you are there. Chas. never felt better in his life and we hope you have recovered from your indisposition and can say the same thing. When you are ready for the stories, sing out and we will send them to you. [illegible missing text] hing to [2] June 22, 1908, any other magazine and don’t intend to as long as you Mr. Caspar Whitney are interested in Chas. work. I would rather be with Outing 35-37 W. 31st St., alone that to get mixed up New York City. Dear Sir; [typed upside down] to any other magazine and don’t intend to as long as you are interested in Chas. work. I would rather be with the leading magazine like Outing that to get mixed up with some others. Kindest regards from us both, Yours sincerely,
