From Nancy C. Russell to Mr. Ernest E. Quantrell, October 15, 1929

{"DisplayOrder":"1","Title":"From Nancy C. Russell to Mr. Ernest E. Quantrell"}

                                                October 15, 1929.      Mr. Ernest E. Quantrelle, 15 Broad Street, New York City.    Dear Mr. Quantrelle:                   Your letter of October 8th was received.                    I’m awfully sorry that I’ve found nothing which will  help you one speck, in your lovely cabin-room.                    I appreciate your letter to Charlie Beil and have taken  the liberty of writing Mr. John E. Lewis of Columbia Falls, Montana, about sending you some Indian things. He has the best lot of things that are truly historical of anyone I know and  I’m not sure that Beil would think about asking him about  suitable things for you. If you wish to write to him, telling  him that I suggested sending you some things on approval, it might be that you would get just what you want and I know he is a fine man to deal with. He is sending part of his collection to Judge Simpson in Philadelphia for the Western atmosphere to go with a collection of paintings of the West  that is to be given to their museum.                    I’m sure your new home is going to be very lovely and  when I’m in New York, I would enjoy very much the privilege of going out to see it, especially your Western room.                    Trusting you will be able to get some real treasures  from Mr. Lewis, I am                                                                                    Sincerely,      NCR:ED
