39LIVELY LETTER FROM BUFFALO BILL. The San Francisco Argonaut says that Colonel Wil liam Roy, of El Paso, an old friend and comrade of Buffalo Bill, is in receipt of a frank and characteristic letter from the great scout. The letter, which is dated London, 23rd June, is as follows :- My dear Colonel,-It was a genuine pleasant surprise to receive your letter. I have often thought of you, and wondered what had become of you. So glad that you are still on the top of the earth. Well, ever since I got out of the mud-hole in New Orleans things have been coming my way pretty smooth, and I have captured this country from the Queen down, and doing them to the tune of 10,000 dollars a day. Talk about show business, there was never anything like it ever known, and never will be again, and with my European reputation, you can easily guess the business I will do when I get back to my own country. It's pretty hard work with two or three performances a day, and the society racket, receptions, dinners, &c. 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 pile I am coming back to visit 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. Will be glad to hear from any of them. Write me again.-Your old-time friend, BILL CODY. | 39LIVELY LETTER FROM BUFFALO BILL.
