                                                  January 5th, 1920.   Mr. James. W. Bollinger, Putnam Building, Davenport, Iowa.     Dear Judge Bollinger:                    Please find enclosed receipt for  the $1500.00. Thank you (some speed). Also en- closed, please find your note.                   Now about “The Three Wise Camels”, Charlie has tackled it, but is having a dreadful time. We will have to send and get another kind of paper as what he has will not do, but he will  eventually get it I am sure and if it comes out all right and satisfactory to the Chief as well as to you, it will cost you $400. and I will have  it framed properly here if that is agreeable to  you.                    I am enclosing the bill for the  other frame with our check attached for the half and if you will just put yours in and mail the  whole thing, I will be much obliged.                    I am glad Charlie had the visit with you. It did him lots of good and I do want folks to know what a real fellow he is because I  think he is a little unusual and a pretty fine man at the same time.                    I was sorry I could not go with him  to Davenport, but maybe next time I can. I guess  it does not look like I appreciated your and Mrs.  Bollinger’s invitation, but you bet I do and some  day I hope to accept.                   Please give my very best wishes to  Mrs. Bollinger and Steve. One of these days I will write her a letter.  I cannot use a steno- grapher on her, you see, and I am slow at the other kind of letters.                   Charlie joins me in very best wishes for you all.                                Yours very sincerely,
