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,
