MEMORIES OF THE FAR WEST.

[To TER EDITOR OF TB. "SPECTATOR."]

SIR,—I thank you very heartily for your kindly appreciation of my late brother's story of his adventures in the Far West in your issue of December 21st, 1907. I think I ought, at the same time, to tell you that the Cody who by his timely arrival on the scene saved my brother from hanging was not the well-known Buffalo Bill, but a man of the same name who had settled in the neighbourhood. His more celebrated name- sake, to whom, so far as I am aware, he was not related, was at that time an express rider in the service of Major and Russell, the Western freighters and postal contractors.—I
