I did not find the full text of the letter but I did manage to find
extensive references to it here. This is merely an excerpt from a much
longer article but quite a bit of information about this letter is
contained in the article:

?In June 1978 the Rocky Mountain Jewish Historical Notes published
excerpts from a correspondence between George H Kohn & Louis Wirkowski
of Denver and H S Henry, the President of HEAS in New York. The
provenance of this correspondence is itself instructive. The letter of
Kohn & Wirkowski is dated 30 January 1883. From Henry?s reply, we
learn that the Kohn & Wirkowski letter was covered by a letter from
Kohn and H Silver on 5 February 1883. Dr Jeanne Abrams, the Editor of
the RMJHN, introduces the correspondence by noting that Kohn &
Wirkowski published their letter in the Denver Tribune on 7 February
1883 that is two days after they sent it to New York. Abrams notes
that both letters were subsequently reprinted in the American
Israelite of Cincinnati (no date given). It is probable, but not
certain that the Kohn & Wirkowski letter is that referred to by Satt
in her account of the ?three prominent men? from Denver who visited
the colony and sent an appeal to HEAS?

In lieu of the actual full text letter please let me know if this
suffices as an answer.

This article is by me. Unfortunately, neither of the referenced
letters is the one I'm after.
I fear that the letter I'm after may only avaiable in hard copy form
in which case my question would be--how could I lay my hands on it and
would my $50 cover it?

It would certainly cover it if "I" had the article but alas, I do not.
Hopefully someone else will know more.
