Descriptive Title

                                                                                                 July 25, 1929.    Mrs. C.F. Kelly,  Big Fork, Montana.    Dear Mrs. Kelly,   You know I have not had an opportunity to see  Mr. Kelly and get any further opinion on the  decoration “The Phantom of Kootenai Lodge,” and when the canvas was delivered you both ex- pressed you pleasure in having it just as  Charlie left it, in that weird, beautiful  unfinished state. You were kind to loan it  to me for Charley’s exhibition in New York last fall where it was talked of and admired a  lot. While east I was to have seen Mr. Kelly, but he was out of town. I went to Boston, from where I was called home, and did not get back  to New York as planned.    I shall be happy to see you and Mr. Kelly some time this summer.                                                       Sincerely,     NCR S
