A letter, 1926 April 22, from Richard B. Shephard, Salt Lake City, Utah, to Frederick Dellenbaugh, says his review of James Bridger is satisfactory; comments some material could be left out, but J.

Cecil Alter, Salt Lake City, acknowledges a letter and clippings, hopes to meet him soon, mentions mutual friends in Salt Lake City, and says that he has many of Dellenbaughs's works.
