May 26, 1931. Dear Charlie and Vera: It is ages since I heard from you and I am wondering if the aeroplane letters ever reached you. I sent you copies of some most interest- ing protests that were sent to the state of Montana, as well as to me. Before I go any farther I want to say that Charlie Beil’s letter to Mrs. Robbins is one that shows friendship, loyalty and knowledge of what was deserved and right. It is one of the best letters of the kind that I ever saw and I feel it will never do you any harm. The people that I have shown it to approve of everything you said and say “that fellow knew how to express himself, didn’t he?”. That was because you felt so deeply on the subject. It may be possible that you do not know that the wheel of protests has turned until it is smashing across the entire United Sates and I am certain there will be some adjustment that will be made satisfactory to all concerned. I wish you two would come down to see me at the Lake this summer. Couldn’t you run away for a week at least. I would love to have you. I expect to be there about the first of July and it is possible that Jack and I will go to Calgary for the stampede. If we do, you and Vera will surely be there and we will see. I am sending a copy of James Montgomery Flagg’s telegram to Bill Hart. I know you will enjoy it but it is not for publication so do not pass it along for it might do us more damage than good. I will have my file of letters with me in Montana and we can spend several hours visiting with Charlie’s many friends all over the country. My love to you both. Sincerely, [Transcribed by Lauren B.
