R0BBING THE MAIL.


Canon City, Feb 4, 1896.
Mrs. Annie Morton West Newfield. Me:
Dear Madam-You- letter to Mr.
Dahl at Anaconda has been handed
ne. VIII you kindly write me about
your necessities and what security you
,ould offer for the loan of $500 for one
year at 10 per cent. interest.
/ fear that rate is usurious. Your
handwriting is SO much like young
man just emerging from a writing
school that 1 am slightly suspicious
that / am doing an imprudent thing in
answering your letter but let that be
rs il may, the truth will come out some
line. | am sincerely sorry for one who
lost her husband and is in financial
distress and would like to aid her if il
is in my power.
Yours very truly.
JAMES J. CONE.
Mr.. James J. Cone:
Dear Sir-Yours of thhe 4th inst. at
hand. l hasten to reply.
one year ago ! was burned out and
lost all | had at the same time. l lost
over $500 worth of government prop
arty and since then l have been bor-
rowing a little ut n time and am trying
20 make il up and get Strengthened out,
but this is little one horse town and
the post office only pays $50 per year
and | have a little confectionery bust
mess that pays $50 more.
Now when two women come to live
on that it is slow business saving up
$3.50: and have looked over all my ac-
counts and find that $500 will free me
from all obligations here. and l can
can make that amount easily in the
year besides all my living expenses.
| have position offered me in Chicago
where they will pay me $50 a year in
Guiding all clothes and expenses. They
wrote me they would keep the place
open till the 18th of this month (Feb-
ruary). and since receiving yours /
have written asking them to hold till
the 18th of March If there is anything
in Colorado as good or better | would
rather come there. Now l answer the
questions which you ask. All the Sc
curi'y which l have to offer is my note
or notes, and Will give you security on
small building and contents worth
about $3.50. which stands on land that
| hold four years lease of, but /
would rather have a life insurance
policyfor $1,000 running to you and keep
II paid up until the notes are paid off
If live every dollar will be paid. and if
| die before this year you will receive
the life insurance
The reason l offer 10 per cent is be-
cause it is a hard thing to get money
much less on life insurance. You think
my handwriting like a young mans.
You make a mistake. l am a widow
p years old. and l read in the Sunday
Herald what wealthy mine the
Doctor mine was. l thought it might
be way for re out of my trouble. and
so l wrote you. l send you a small,
picture of myself. OF course you must
know that small pictures are not very
satisfactory. but YOU seem so much
afraid that l am not what 1 seem to be
that l enclose the photo.
II you can send me the money by
special delivery registered letter. or
certified check by return mail it will be
a great accommodation. I will do any
thing in my power that you may ask
and will repay the loan promptly.
Yours respectfully.
