Dear Bill:
Just a line to show my admiration
Of your work, old man. HoneN
BIZ, III have to hand it to you for
the schemes you think up and the
way you put them across. Now,
with me, Bill, / have to scheme ana
twist around (you know that old say
ing SLY as the deyii"), but OF late
you have set me wondering II I'M
not wrong, and n | haven't been los,
ing a lot Of time. 1 believe u
change my tactics, BIZ, and qult
trying to+hand 1t to 'em easy hke, !
believe I'd rather laugh in their FACE
Ike you do than to chuckle on the
side as / have been doing. 500,
We had fellow down here, Blil'
by the name OF Judas, The poor
boob kept going around and Wrlhs
ing his hands and crying out that
he had betrayed his best frlend anu
humanity, and all that rot, ana
made life so miserable that l con-
signed him to the cave OF echoes
thinking he'd get tired OF nearing
himself, but he only got worse, salu
II was his conscience" whatever
that is. For centuries Bill he kept
u1pnGGu
violating treaties, he eased up bit
and when you violated those agree
ments that you made against tor
turing women and children, and
started to wipe out churches, etc,
he smiled and when you betrayed
Belgium, he laughed, and now that
you have done the same thing TO
Russia. he sure has gone nuts,
Laughs all the time, goes around
like he was in heaven and slaps
everyone on the back, and says MS
conscience is relieved, that he be-
trayed but one: and you millions,
and that the name of Judas would
he welcome where the name OF hun
would not be permitted TO be spoken
You don't know how far your IN
fl0ence has gone, BIZ. Every uhle
your name Is mentioned down mere
everyone ducks II has got 10 ne
such habit that the other day when
one Of your submarine commanders
arrived and when / asked nm
where he was from he said that ne
was one of the kaiser's best men,
damned If l didn't duck, too BIZ,
ONLY one thing worries me, Bill
I'm afraid that when they do get TO
you and you kick in, that III lose
my job. i've never realized until
lately how old and foggy and be-
hind the times I'm getting. Even
Cain noticed that the other day
when reading of your latest drive,
and said "Wo sure are behind,
aren't we. old top? You and
were content to slip 1t TO EN- one
at n time, and this friend Bill can
do 1t BY thousands and make IT
stick
Listen Bill be reasonable, when
You come here. cant I'VE split the
territory here or make some ar
rangements-I don't want to lose
out. III give you 81 per cent con-
trolling interest and any titles you
wish I'll even do n flunkey's part
but don't kick me out altogether:
I've worked hard, Bill, and long, ana
| want to see some Of the new stunts
you'll put on here. I'm not TOO ola
to learn either, Bill.
Well must he closing for here
comes some more of your bunch
\ They're sure taking up room, Bill
and the gate hinges are getting so
hot that they smoke all the time
from swinging so much.
Drop me a line, If you have time;
cid man. and you 1n be assured
that whatever suggestions you make
I'll carry them out, and II you'll just
trust me with some those new
stunts, YOU bet I'll pick up and show
you | can put 'em across.
Your admirer.
SATAN I.
