Davenport, Ia.
Dear Judge:-
We had a letter from Mr. Mehard in which he
says it will be impossible for him to join you people
on the hunt this Fall. I suppose you have arranged
affairs so that you will be hitting the trail West
one of these days. I know Charley is working like
a Trojan to get as much done as he can so as to be
ready when you people are to go into the mountains.
He is planning on this hunt like a boy on a picnic.
I hope after the hunt that Mrs. Lane will join
Mr. Lane and you, and that you will come over to Great
Falls for a day or so where we can have a little visit
with you and I will promise to do my vest to sell you
the picture that Charley is now working on, because
it is the best thing of its kind that he has ever done.
It is so far ahead of what I dreamed of that I can talk
its praises to no end. But it is the kind of a picture
you should have to go with the ones you have. I won’t
tell you anything about it but I want to show it to you.
Charley joins me in best wishes to your family
as well as yourself and is looking forward to seeing
you next month.
Sincerely yours,
