Mr. Thomas W. Lawson,

Mass.

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
Yours 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,
Nancy Brown
