My Dear Beck

Yours of 4th in it you do not say anything what is best to do— or where I am to write you. Or who is in the new Co— [2] So I have nothing to say— as I know nothing— probably Alger will write I wrote Alger that Mead would be there the 18th with a party of men from pl Cincinnati O. who may want to go in with us—

Very truly your friend W. F. Cody

Note 1: The year is not inscribed by Cody but is 1895 as determined by the Routes List: Buffalo Bill's Wild West performed in Auburn, New York, on August 8, 1895. [back]

Note 2: Cody's reference to "the new Co" was likely to Shoshone Land and Irrigation Company which later became Shoshone Irrigation Company. [back]
