(applied typescript caption): The Beldon [sic] photograph is of the Indian Chief of that name. He was not an Indian but certainly looks it; he was a white man, an officer in the Army, who became disgusted with civilized life and spent his life with the Indians. Gen. Brisbin wrote his interesting life and used as his frontispiece the Jackson photo you have bought. (ink); Letter from Wright Howes [?]
