"A storm today came near to putting us out of business"—Buffalo Bill writes on his impressive letterhead

ALS signed “W. F. Cody,” one page, 8.5 x 11, impressively illustrated 'Buffalo Bill' letterhead, July 13, [1916]. Letter to Henry Hersey, in full: "Read your telegram to send $500 to apply on the 3000 note to U.S. Printing Co. as I can earn $600 today please find it enclosed payable to your order. A storm today came near to putting us out of business. And electric lightning and wind storm following several days of intense heat. It killed our afternoon house. And this is the best house in New England." In very good to fine condition, with paper loss to the upper left corner, and light staining along the bottom edge.
