[_A letter from Mr. Nicholas Ribstone to his secretary, Miss Daisy
Balboa._]
Kill Kare Kountry Klub,
Wayanda, Conn., April 18.
DEAR MISS BALBOA: I have decided to stay here a few days longer for
the fishing. Nothing much can be done in the office until Mr. Russell
returns, and it just happens that one of the big drug jobbers is
staying at this place and it will do no harm for me to get to know him
in a social way. Thanks for telling me about the Gray Matter portfolio.
I am interested to know that you are impressed by their enthusiasm. But
every one is enthusiastic when they go out fishing for a big one.
Look here, instead of mailing the Gray Matter stuff, why not run up
here with it yourself? I will get you a reservation at the Bonhomie
Inn, which is near this club, and then we can go over the papers
together. There’s a train that leaves Grand Central at 4:20. The
little change would do you good, and there are several matters on which
I wish to get your reaction.
Sincerely yours,
NICHOLAS RIBSTONE.
