July 11, 1930. Air Mail Mrs. C. M. Russell “Trail’s End”, 725 Michigan Blvd., Pasadena, Calif. Dear Mrs. Russell:- We are very sorry to trouble you again but we would appreciate hearing from you in regard to having the piece “Where the Best of Riders Quit” re- paired. Referring to our letters of June 2nd and 23rd, you will note that we reported that this piece had been received from you in a damaged condition. One leg of the horse is cracked. We do not want to have the piece repaired without your authorization as we do not know whether or not you had the piece insured in transit. We Shall appreciate your giving us this permission; also advising us which Foundry you wish to do the work. This is a very popular piece and we are unable to show it to any clients until it is put in good condition and we, therefore, ask that you communi- cate with us at your early convenience. Yours truly, [signed] Gertrude R. Cummings Gertrude R. Cummings, Office Manager. GRC: RMM
