Charles M. Russell, one of the most famous letter writers in the West, was fond of sending Christmas greetings to friends, many with small drawings or watercolors. The letters reveal a sentimental artist who marked the end of the year with reflection and pause. Here, in what might be his most famous Christmas card, Russell keeps it short and sweet with a bit of humor.
