Dear Sir:
You asked me in your letter to give you a description of
myself, which I take pleasure in doing: I am a young man 26
years of age, 5 feet 6 inches tall, weigh 140 pounds; blue
eyes, red hair; I am strictly temperate, do not gamble;
kind disposition, a farm hand; have no means; income $15
per month.
I would be delighted to make the acquaintance of several of
your prospective rich women who are seeking a husband. Send
me a list of those who are worth from $50,000 to $75,000,
also their photographs, whereby I can make a selection, and
I will send you your fee of $5. I remain,
Sincerely yours,
THOMAS FLINN.
