Buffalo Bill's Wild West

Liverpool— [1]
May. 15th / 03. [2]

My Dear George

How are they coming? Hope you are well and happy. I have had a tough time with a sprained ankle and shoulder. and the worst weather England ever had— and thats saying a heep. Have been looking for your report for quite a while. Would like to know about the Shoshone Irrigation Co— business. how the New Canal is. how much land sold &c. If you will have money to meet the Hearsts [3] interest &c—

With Kind wishes

Yours truly

W. F. Cody
