The letter reads, in part:“There is nothing as pretty as a young Angus steer eating the fresh valley grass.
Too bad the price of cattle is the lowest in all time. I took this picture with a Leica camera, onTri-X film
and then I let it in the trunk of my car for two hours in the hot sun before I developed it.”
