Dear sir:

I have only had the pleasure of meeting you once--in your private car,
with Thayer, when you were returning from your western trip--but I hope
you will not consider me presuming if I take a moment of your valuable
time to thank you for your masterpiece just begun in Everybody's.

Such magic has not flowed from a pen for many a year.

Yours Truly

Dear Sir,

I like your story "Friday the Thirteenth." For the information and added
knowledge your previous writing has given me I thank you.

--"for the crow that is in him and the spurs that are on him to back up
the crow with." You certainly are a game and competant old fighter.

Sincerely, with best wishes

Dear Sir:

I wish to congratulate you on the good story you wrote in Everybody's
Magazine this month. It is the beat story I ever read and the best I ever
saw published in any magazine.

I am well posted on the "Brokers" business and enjoyed your story very
much. I hope you will continue to write them. I know they are taken more
from real life than immagination. I am sure they will be appreciated as
much as "Frenzied Finance". I have taken the liberty to send a good word
to Ridgway's.

With best wishes, I remain
Tours respectfully,

My dear Sir:

It was indeed a pleasure to read your novel in this month's Everybody's.
Being an old trader myself, I have appreciated every word of it and look
forward for the continuation with much interest.

I just want to say this too--that anyone who says that you cannot write
anything else but "Street" gossip had better cover his "shorts".

Wishing you all kinds of success, and with congratulations on your
splendid work, I am

Very sincerely,

Dear Sir:
