From Nancy C. Russell to John B. Ritch, February 14, 1933

{"DisplayOrder":"1","Title":"From Nancy C. Russell to John B. Ritch"}

                                                Pasadena, California.                                                  February 14, 1933.   Mr. John B. Ritch, Lewistown, Montana.    Dear Mr. Ritch:   Of course you are not beaten and, if by chance the plan does not go through this winter as you  hope it will, you are still not beaten because you are going to win. You started it, it is  right and you are bound to succeed.    You don’t know how sorry I am to know so many of  our friends have been hit so hard that they have  responded to you in the way they have but I be- lieve there is a way to make up the amount you  are going to need and if your argument on the  eleventh carried as you had planned, the whole thing is moving along O. K. right now. If it  didn’t go just as you wanted it to, you did your  best and for the time being, it will have to rest but you are going to steer the ship through to  success just as sure as anything. I wish it were within my power to help you more. If you see any  way I can be of assistance, please let me do so.    I am hoping to hear that Mr. Lewis is up again.  He has been a very sick man. No one knows better  than you how hard it is to be tied in the house with illness.    My very best regards.                                    Sincerely,    P.S. Will be in town tomorrow and will find out  if there is a window where I can exhibit “Pieces of Eight”. If so will let you know all about it  later.                                    N.C.R.
