Indian Buffalo Hunt Monument Committee Executive^ Office? 353 BOND BUILDING WASHINGTON, D. C. Telepkone Main 3497 '>v 29 June* 1928 Ir* C, Hart Merriam, Washington, D* C« Dear Doctor Merriam: Tou have doul)tle8s admired the heroic group depicted on this letterhead in the Union Station in Washington. It is the work of the noted sculptor» Mr. Henry K. Bush-Brown. This Ooxnmittee^ and the Sponsors whose names appear hereon, have noticed that there is no monument in the Na- tion's Capital which honors and commemorates the First Americans. They are of the opinion that no more fitting tribute could be paid the Indians and our Early Settlers than to have this heroic group set up permanently in a suit- able place in Washington. The Monument must be cast in bronze, and I am requested by the Committee to ask you to be one of two hundred repre- sentative American men £md women who will subscribe $250. or more each to make up the f50,000. necessary to obtain the statue, and for casting and erection. This Committee has selected the names of invited sub- scribers with particular care, as it is intended to place the names of the two hundred subscribers on a bronze tablet attached to the Monument* You will agree, I am sure, that such a list of men and women honoring a Race of Americans which has given our country many distinguished citizens, should be carefully chosen, so as to give increased honor to the project — in reality, a tribute of representative Americans of today to those who were here before us. Sincerely yours,
