May 21, 1930 Mrs. Charles M. Russell “Trails End”, 725 Michigan Blvd., Pasadena, Calif. Dear Mrs. Russell: We have a client who called today and who wishes to buy several Russell bronzes. I was very much disappointed not to be able to find any of the best ones at our Galleries. In fact we were not able to show him a “Bronco Buster”, “Bucker and Buckeroo” or “Where the Best of Riders Quit”. He is going away for a while but will be back during the summer and if we have the ones he likes at that time he will undoubtedly make a purchase. The last one of these bronzes that we sold was also under unfavorable conditions – we had to take our client to another client’s office in order to show him the piece he desired because we did not have it on hand. Can you arrange to see that we get these important pieces at once so that we can get results for you? Very truly yours, [signed] Erwin S. Barrie ESB GH Manager [Transcribed by Lauren B.
