136"BUFFALO BILL" has written a letter from London to Col. W.M. RAY a "chum" of Mr. CODY on the plains. In it occurs the following, which is respectfully referred to the Queen and the Royal family of England of every other nation possessed of a silly sovereign. "Well, every since I got out of the mudhole in New Orleans things have been coming my way pretty smooth, and I have captured this country from the Queen down-- am doing them to the tune of $10,000 a day. Talk about show business! There never was 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 at receptions, dances, 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 Coady, the bullwhacker. Well, Colonel, I still wear the same sized hat, and when I make my pile 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. Will be glad to hear from any of them. Write me again. Your old-time friend, BILL CODY." | 136"BUFFALO BILL" has written a letter from London to Col. W.M. RAY a "chum" of Mr. CODY on the plains.
