Buffalo Bill's Wild West Combined With Pawnee Bill's Great Far East.
Dear George
Bob Haslam [3] showed me your letters poor fellow he is in a bad way paralized and broke. I am helping him but I have so many to help— its quite a draw on me.
President Taft [4] enjoyed the show. And sent me a nice letter.
Hope you are all well
love to family
Col
