- Description
- Glendale, Calif Sept. 16, 1940 Dear Mr Amon Carter; Strange how time will make the smallest trinket invaluable, or perhaps the least word become enduring to one, and (?) way be an expression upon the face which is (?) upon another's mind. The later compliment is yours as you speak the name of Will Rogers, it's an affection - written on your face, and long to be remembered. Today the nation is bowed in sorrow for the loss of Speaker Wm. Bankhead, long shall he be our priviledge to remember his friendless, and the campaign button he personally ask us to wear at the Decoration Convention, now that celluloid mento bearing the word. Baukhead becomes a treasure, it also represents a lost campaign, perhaps a broken heart, but a sportsman to the end. It was so fine to hear some of the Charles Russell works at the opening of Will Rogers home to the public, to know Nancy Russell was to know the soul of Charley. She was so blessed to join him last spring This letter was intended to wish you every success and a happy party at the premiere for Sam Goldwyns picture - Had very nice letter from Senator Tom Connally today - Please remember me to him, when you see him in D.C. I expect to spend six weeks in Wash. D.C. this winter again visiting friends. So happy to see you again. Don't "forget hat" - Juliette Sherman Our city - P. O. Box 783 Glendale, Cali (over) When do plan to visit California again? soon I hope. an that you will have time to call us. Charleston 6.3058 - (?) B. McCarty wishes to be remembered. She is the gal that (?) to small newspapers.
