Dear Bigelow-
Been building a place to work in this summer –
You old lump of inanimate matter if you don’t work I cant.  How are the Timbuktu articles  getting “thar,” fire up – say lots of things that aren’t so – let your imagination play – every other tool will howl in chorus that you are not so – then don’t say it but let it be known that you are interesting and lay back on Soloman – there is nothing new.  Except History. 
Mrs. R. wants to meet you & Mrs. B. – particularly Mrs. B. – she knows that you are not oh well –--- I have told her Cant (Kant) we do a little lunch some day at some chop house all by our “lonely” – you Madame and our end of the table – pigs nuckels and beer & conversation – I want to tell Madam all about you – if you go back to England without conforming to the “customs of the country” – which is to let us know you – then I say you don’t live up to your blue China--- I hope I will never meet you again. –
Yours faithfully
Faithfully – I got that world from you - & how can you beat it
Frederic Remington
P.S.
Mrs. R. has “slipped her trolley” for three or four days – avis. –
