Nov 13th, 1926. Mrs. C.W. Russell. Great Falls. Mont. Dear Wife of N’tuckah:- I have been thinking all along that that hunting scene Charlie made at the lake when we were with you, was probably the last thing he did with the pen. Would you not like to have that?. Much as I value it, I value my love for you two the more, and – damn it, I don’t just seem to get my thoughts on paper, being a sentimental idiot, perhaps, but you, as a woman, will know what I mean. Just let me know some time when you can feel like it. My kindest wishes to Mrs. DeYong and the Trigg ladies, and to you, in the vanished phraseology of a bygone day – My esteem and devotion [signed] Harry Stanford
