In this rare letter, signed by both William Frederick "Buffalo Bill"
Cody and Gordon W. "Pawnee Bill" Lillie, the two Wild West entertainers
negotiate printing costs with their printing company for the 1914 season.
This letter was probably written in 1913, because their show, Buffalo
Bill's Wild West and Pawnee Bill's Far East, didn't survive into 1914. A
rare look at the business workings of one of the most successful touring shows
of all time!
