Hastly Yours W. F. Cody Note 1: Buffalo Bill's Wild West performed in Columbia, South Carolina, on October 26, 1901.

Note 3: Another letter from William F. Cody to Hinkle, also dated October 26, 1901, includes an invitation for Hinkle to join Cody on this hunting trip. Buffalo Bill's Wild West gave its last performance of the 1901 season on October 28. Cody often came to the Big Horn Basin for hunting trips at the conclusion of the show season.
