[1] My Dear Mrs. Russell                 If I should take to California five or six of  Mr. Russell’s originals in oil, do you think you could help me dispose of them – they will be consigned to me and  with the [illegible] that  sign with them and handle them personally- one of the pictures is similar to the  one I sold –  The same squaw, papoose, white horse and dog in the foreground – another is      [2] a [illegible] scene with two Indians in the foreground in native dress + belongings, [illegible] a deer- I will be glad to  hear from you at once what – you think might be the prospects of disposing of them then, I’ve had letters from [illegible] + the Glandall galleries. I would  rather go to California than to  New York with them, but I want the best price and I would be glad of your help-                 The picture I sold is  in Santa Barbara, with the [N.R Carles?] – It wouldn’t be for sale   [3] I am sure, that Mr. [Carles?] is delightful, and I am  sure would be glad to show it  to you- They surely  got it at a bargain- Mr. [Carles?] has some of Mr.  Russells bronze and is very  fond of them –                 Sincerely [signed] [illegible] E. MacGilliway,    January the 20th
