Buffalo Bill in Britain

The Hon. William F. Coey has written to an old comrade of El Paso a glowing account of his experience in England. "It's pretty hard work he says, "with two and three performances a day, and the society racket, receptions, dinners, etc. No man, not even Grant, was received better than your humble servant. I have dined with every one of the royalty from Albert Prince of Wales, down. I sometimes wonder if it is the same old Bill Cody, the bullwhacker. Well Colonel, I still wear the same sized hat, and when I make my fill I am coming back to visit all the old boys. If you meet any of them tell them I ain't got the big head worth a cent, I am over here for dust.
