Dear Sirs:
I have just your first installment of “Friday 13th.” It is OK + if the balance of the story is as good (+ I have no doubts on that score) you are “It” when it comes to writting fiction as well as tricking the Insurance Thief + Standard Oil Grafters.

Wishing you success
I am yours very truly
S. F. Welch
