From Caspar Whitney to Charles M. Russell, November 14, 1907

{"DisplayOrder":"1","Title":"From Caspar Whitney to Charles M. Russell"}

  W/D                                                                        November 14, 1907.     Dear Charlie Russell:-                   Didn’t I buy “The Mad Cow” from you? I certainly was under the impression    that I had, but to-day when I was looking around for it I couldn’t find it.                    How’s the world wagging with you? I see you are turning out some good work   and I want to tell you how it pleases me to know it. Don’t you get impatient Charlie   Russell, - you are doing all right. You are putting on canvas a phase of life that   is fast passing, and you are making a name for yourself as an illustrator and really   a historian. Good luck to you!                   I wish this magazine was my very own and I could combine the business as    well as the editorial management in one. If I could, I would have you in the maga-   zine every month; and that’s no mere bouquet that I am throwing at you.                    My best regards to the Missis – she’s all right too, and don’t you ever   forget it.                                                    Sincerely yours,                                                                   [signed] Caspar Whitney   C.M. Russell, Esq.,                   Great Falls, Montana.
