“Messrs. Frank and Joseph Hardy,

Bayport.

“Dear Sirs:

“If it is convenient for you to call upon me at my residence to-morrow I should like to talk to you about a matter that has been in my mind since my return from Europe. If you will be good enough to call early to-morrow afternoon I will explain further.

Yours very truly,

Elroy Jefferson.”

“Well, we recovered his automobile for him from the Shore Road thieves,” ventured Joe.
