Russell Pope hopes Representative Greenway will accept a collection of verse, sent under separate cover, which includes a piece on Mount Rushmore. The piece had been selected from over 200,000 submissions in the New York area for consideration by the committee overseeing selection of an inscription for Mount Rushmore. However, the committee was not allowed to see it and Pope would like to rectify this injustice.

Letter from Gutzon Borglum to Isabella Greenway

Gutzon Borglum encloses a letter he wrote to Arno B. Cammerer regarding his pay for the work on Mount Rushmore. The letter is being sent to all the members of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial Commission and Borglum believes that many of them will be shocked by the facts. He intends to finish the monument even without pay. The good work done by Representative Greenway, Representative Werner, and Speaker Rainey ended up losing Werner his seat in Congress. Borglum jokes that he should be allowed to speak more often as he has elected three senators and got rid of four.
