                                                                        Trail’s End                                                                         Pasadena, California                                                                         October 19th, 1927   Mr. Dan R. Conway 608 13th St. North Great Falls, Montana   Dear Mr. Conway:               Your very good letters are much appreciated and I am so  glad you are starting to turn the big wheel and with the sincerity  of the few that are going to work on that memorial proposition, I  believe you will succeed. I will give you a list of some names and I think it will be dreadful if they are not used properly.  Thore [sic] must be no begging letters to any of these people.  This thing is to be for love and not extract money with pincers. I  have your promise as well as Mr. Fligman’s that these names are not  to be used for any such purpose. I really could have shaken you for writing to Bill Hart, it strikes me as being kind of funny as I  read your letter though. I could have told you that Will Rogers was tied up to his eyes and that Will Rogers should not be approach- ed any further on this Russell Memorial business. I can’t help but  think Montana is going to finish with Charlie and we without having us cost them a cent.  They will extract the necessary funds from  outside of her boundaries just as we have always our living  other places and come back to all Montana to live.            My heart will be glad when I hear that that old state has  sons that are willing to show they appreciated Charlie enough to  help towards building a memory shrine to him. I have said too  much but you know my heart and the feeling that has been built up  in the past year. Now I am going to talk about other things.              I expect to leave for New York in about two weeks. Will have the memorial exhibition at the Grand Central Galleries opening the  7th of November for four weeks so I am a very busy lady getting  the pictures listed ready for cataloguing and packed for shipment.  I think I said something about planting roses when I struck Trail’s  End. There is going to be no rose planting until spring in this  yard I am afraid. I will be glad to hear that the manuscript is on  its way and I will see Mr. Maule personally when I get to New York.  I believe that will help matters too.               I was down to spend the week end with Jack and he certainly  was glad to see me. We both wept. Mrs. DeYong is coming down to  be with me for a few days the end of this week so the old crew, Banty, Martha, Ted and I will be a busy bunch getting things put  away, others packed and off for the New Year show. I know they  would all join in kindest regards to the Conway family.                                                    Sincerely,    Mr. W. M. Armstrong Pacific Finance B ldg., Los Angeles   Mr. H.
