My Dear [Picture Son Milton,

I wrote to your brother Nate yesterday and for fear that you will think that I have forgotten you, I write you this *handsome* letter, to remind you that I love you very much, and to say that your Mama tells me that you have been a very good boy in my absence, which I am very glad to know, for I am very proud of my boys and girls, and if they are disobedient it pains me very much, for I know that your Mama never wants you to do anything but what is for your own good. I want you to kiss both your sisters, your brother and your Mama for me for I am too far away to do it myself. I send you a great big kiss for yourself.

Your affectionate Papa,

[Nathan Salzburg, 31]

My dear son;

I was delighted to get your last letter, and I was much pleased with its composition and spelling. You are improving very much in your writing also and it gives me a great deal of satisfaction to know it. You must have had a fine time on "Independence day" and I wish I could have been there to share your pleasures.

The weather here has been very warm for the past few days but it has grown very cool this morning, so that it is necessary to wear heavy and warm clothing to be comfortable. I hope to be with you soon and share the melons and other good things that you are having to eat, for we don't get them out here because nobody has ever taken the trouble to cultivate them. The puzzle in the New York Journal must have been very interesting, and I am curious to know if you solved it, and if so what the answer is.

I am very busy to-day and have very little time to write you a long letter, but as soon as I got your letter I sat down to answer it at once, because I make it a rule to always answer any letters I may get as soon as possible. All good business men do so, and I hope you will make a practice of doing the same thing, so that when you grow to be a man you will have formed a good habit that will be of great value.

CHICAGO, Dec. 31, 1896.

Colonel W. F. Cody,

C/o Barnum & Bailey's Offices,

13 West 27th St., New York

My dear Colonel,

I did hope to see you while you were in the city the other day, but it was impossible for me to do so. And I now write you to say, that the Fellowship Club of this city, of which I am President, will give a "Wild West" dinner on the 12th inst at Kinsley's Restaurant in this city. I don't know whether you know what the Fellowship Club is. But I may say that it is modelled upon the Clover Club of Philadelphia some. That it is composed of sixty of the leading citizens of Chicago, and that its dinners have unquestionably been the finest ever given in the West. Nate Salisbury is a member, and can tell you all about it. We want you and Nate to be present, that is, providing of course Nate's health is such that he can come. If he cannot come, we want you anyhow. Please give Nate my love, and tell him I hope that his health is improving.

A reply will oblige
