engaged at present that I cannot do it now. I am in the throes of this
quick-living age and I have to “stand up to it”. I desire nothing so
much as leisure and the company of men who think “strange thoughts”,
but I am against the wall and must fight which I do regularly but it may
be different soon -- well -- we will see. My respects Mr. Secor - (signed)
Frederic Remington”. Light mounting traces on blank last page. Overall a
