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,
