Buffalo Bill typed letter signed ''W.F. Cody'' and dated 23 October 1903. Letter is typed on ''Buffalo Bill's Wild West'' stationery from Burton-on-Trent, as the entertainer brought his show to England at various points in his career. Reads in full: ''To Whom It May Concern, This is to certify that the bearer W.H. Goodnough has been in the employ of Buffalo Bill's Wild West during the past ten months and has performed all the duties assigned to him in a satisfactory manner. Buffalo Bills Wild West Company, [signed] W.F. Cody''. Letter on one page measures 8.5'' x 10.75''. Also includes a group photo of various employees posing in front of a horse with a handwritten name and ''Buffalo Bill Show'' written in an unknown hand. Archival repairs at various spots along folds and minor toning throughout. Very good.
