Artist and writer (1892–1942) best known for his work on the American West. ALS signed “Bill James,” one page, 8.5 x 11, September 15, 1927. Letter to a friend. In part: “Had a great time in Chicago—great Rodeo. C. R. Williams got there one day late and somehow he was left out of the big money in bronk riding on that account…Got to thinking about C. R. W.’s spurs and if you don’t want to take the responsibility of ’em send ’em to me. I’d sure like to hang ’em up here and Williams could take his time sending me the money…I’ve got too much to do. Starting on a long novel now and would like to have it done before I leave.” In fine condition, with intersecting folds (one vertical fold passing through a single letter of the signature), and light overall toning. Accompanied by the original mailing envelope, filled out in James’s hand, including his signature, “Will James,” in the return address area. An uncommon letter with terrific Western content.
