In full: "Dear Bob:- I'll bet the trout up there are not as wild as you are at being laid up. Fred is coming here tonight and I'll show him your letter but we can't join you and the heavy weights of art and athletics for the good reason that Fred is leaving for California Saturday the 5th. Everybody at St. Andrew's asks me about you and seems to suspect that I broke your leg. I don't know yet what happened to you or how. Love, admiration and esteem. Sincerely,"Rex Beach (1877-1949) was a best-selling author of 14 adventure novels set in the Northwest, some of which were made into films.

Beach committed suicide in 1949. Adhesive residue on verso (light show through). Normal mailing folds. Light foxing. Pencil notes (unknown hand) at top (not affecting signature).
