June 11, 1 9 2 8 Mr. Erwin S. Barrie, Mgr., The Grand Central Galleries, 15 Vanderbilt Ave., New York City. Dear Mr. Barrie: I am sending by todays Express the copy that I have of “Where the Best of Riders Quit, “ a bronze by Mr. Russell. The model that was being used by the Roman Bronze Works was in such bad shape that I decided not to use it any more until it could be [restored?] in a ­measure so they haven’t the model to work from. I have it here. Please notify me when you receive this model, addressing me at Belton, Montana, where I will be until the first week in September. Very truly, NCR:ED [Transcript by Lauren B.
