On rare Cody/Sells Floto letterhead, Buffalo Bill heads west “to take moooving [sic] pictures of the last battles and surrender of hostile Indians”

ALS signed “Cousin Will,” one page, 8.5 x 11, rare, ornate, and information-laden Buffalo Bill & Sells Floto Circus letterhead announcing the 1914 season, August 27, 1914. Letter to Frank. In full: “If you can’t come to Detroit Sep 1st & 2d, send me an introduction to your mining man there. But try & come I want F. L. C. to come also.” Under his signature Cody writes a four line postscript: “After Detroit I go direct to Pine Ridge Agency So. Dak to take moooving [sic] pictures of the last battles and surrender of hostile Indians.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds, one through a single letter of signature and some scattered light toning. A grand example of Cody expanding his Wild West shows to silent films. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
