"...Just a line or two to let you know we are here yet and have not forgotten you yet & I am put[t]ing in most of my time interviewing magazine & book publishers. Just noe, they all say my story is a [----] but want to wait a month or two to see if the price of paper wont go down but I think they dont want to pay me my price - However, it will keep until I do get my price or publish & picture it myself....Give William and Joe - all the boy[s] our kindest regards...."
Robert Dalton, a deputy U.S. Marshall in Indian territory in 1888, was joined by his brothers Emmet and Gratton in a spree of horse theft, train robbery and bank robbery over a wide area in California, Kansas and Oklahoma. The Dalton brothers were the only gang to attempt the simultaneous robbery of two banks, in Coffeyville, Kansas in October 1892. In the wild gun-fight ensued Robert and Gratton were both killed. Emmet survived, although severly wounded. DALTON'S LETTERS ARE VERY RARE.
