The letter to Paul Stock begins with gratitude for Stock's "fine interest and generous support of the Boy's Ranch is surely most commendable, and we are grateful to you for it". Mr. Small then pitched the need for the boys to have continuing education and Mr. Stock "might want to consider the establishment of a scholarship program at Rocky Mountain College, to benefit young people from the Boy's Ranch and with a secondary preference to students from the Cody area." "We are a private enterprise, like the Boy's Ranch, and depend upon interested individuals and businesses for our major support."
