I enclose a letter to Mrs. Bradford who is the janitress of the house at No. — East Fifty-Ninth street. I kept a room there that I could go to when I wanted to be quiet. Read the enclosed letter then seal it so she will think you don't know what's in it. Do everything just as the letter says. Don't forget that my name is Mrs. Watkins to this woman. You will find fifty dollars in my pocketbook there. Give her thirty for the rent and ten for herself. You keep the other ten. Get a receipt for the rent.
The keys are in the pocketbook. Be very careful of them. In a few days a man will call you up and ask you if you have them. You ask him his name, and he will say Thomas Wilkinson. Then he will tell you what to do, and you must obey him exactly. As soon as he gets the keys and can open my box he will send you five thousand dollars in bills, which will set you up in business or give you a good time, whichever you like.
If this turns out all right there will be a chance for you to make other good things out of the crowd.
I enclose the combination to the safe on a separate slip.
Take care of yourself,
With love,
LORINA.
P.S. You mustn't think from my letter to Mrs. B. that I do not trust you. That's just to stall her off.
L.
The enclosure was a masterpiece.
DEAR MRS. BRADFORD:
