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
