L GESTLEMES:-As one of you was so kind and
liberal as to give me little box Building and
Loan AsaOciation,) which would learn me how to
make, set and play trick, which would aid me to
make money, buy land and build houses, here
With return you my thanks for the book, and win
say to you that think could make some money
by the tricks at the expense of Others and will
make some remarks for you to think about: Now,
if one of those tricks will help to make money, buy
land and build houses, think you should start
more of them and help your relations and friends,
for when l was doing business learned that !
could make money BY hiring and working men, so
l increased the number to forty, and some months
cleared az much as $500, and have helped others
to get homes; and have had as many tricks played
on me as any other one fool that you can find, and
have paid so dearly for them that am afraid of
them, though if those new tricks are as good as
you think they are, suppose twenty FIVE of you
start twenty five tricks, hire twenty FIVE lawyers,
twenty-five clerks, rent twenty-five houses, buy
candles, books and other things for the twenty-five
tricks then number your tricks from one TO twenty
| FIVE, then commence on the first of the month
with trick No. /; fix and set it; then after supper
go and play the trick, smoke cigar, take glass
of ale wine, then take some nice little tricks
home for the pretty and better part and the little
ones, so as to keep peace at home. Next morning
after breakfast get your lawyer and clerk pay them
and the register for setting the triggers of trick No.
| l; after dinner go fix and set trick No. 2; then
after supper play it as No. l, and keep up the op
Grafton daily, and by the first of the next month
you can then commence with trick No. again, and
continue to play the trick round and round, until
you make as much moaey you want and be
certain to keep the profits among yourselves, and
will go security that others wont pay the expen-
SEES if they can help it; for death, and expen>
ses things cannot trick. If the tricks are
not subject to wear out or get out of fix, perhaps
you might work them over once day, or three or
four times per day, if so, it would save time and
expenses, though as IL is a trick which helps to
make money, buy land and build houses, suppose
you do not mind time or expenses, but you should
remember that those who play with tricks are H.
able to get tricked, for times there is trick
within trick, and think those who get you to
play with them and their tricks expect to get pay
oil you by their tricks will thank editors and
printers to improve on my ideas and publish them,
for my brothers are liberal and think they would
divide part of their increased profits with US from
the increase of business they would do by getting
ny ideas.
What pity they didn't learn my worthy friend
Mr. Samuel Watkins how to make money and to
get home, for when he young he was without
friends, money, education or a home; and if he
would cheat and trick us a little think we would
try to learn from him, and respect him much more
than we do
gay the little book is a trick and cheat, and
if its friends will prove to and others it is not,
will pay them for doing so, and if prove to them
it is, they pay me. 1t might learn others how to
calculate interest and discount, and how fast they
were breaking down the rank of aristocracy and
raising mankind to a level, the little book pro-
iesses to do, and think the life of Dr. Franklin is
better and cheaper book for workmen.
Yours very respectfully.
