there exists a strong feeling against lot
teries in your state, and desiring to re-
move all such p~reiudiees by selling q
good prize to some influential person 10
your locality who will give it publicity,
We take the liberty to enclose you a
scheme Of the grand Havana lottery, in
which we offer you the preference To
purchase a very finely arranged
certificate of a full package of
siXteenths tickets which we have
selected in the above lottery for
the cost Of only ten dollars. To convince
you Of our confidence in its success we
will guarantee you another package In
the succeeding lottery free Of charge, If

good prize, and all we ask is that after

increase business. Should you think
favorably of our offer enclose US ten dol
lars as the certificate selected will be
