On receipt of your letter of September 23rd, we are enclosing herewith a check for $2.31, protest fee on your note. We noted after the notes had been made that they should have been payable at our bank in Chicago.
The check that I sent you will be O. K. if you deposit it in your bank October 1st, as I have taken particular care to see that the necessary funds will be in the bank.
We thank you for the compliment of "THE GUNSAULUS MYSTERY",2 and to show you that we are going to do our best to make the "HOUSE BEHIND THE CEDARS" properly,3 we are issuing $30,000 worth of gold notes bearing interest of 8% payable October 1st and April 1st, due October 1st, 1926. We intend to use this or rather the largest portion of this money to produce the "HOUSE BEHIND THE CEDARS". We wonder if it would be of interest to you to take one or two of these hundred dollar notes, which are first lien on the assets of the corporation, which pay interest of $4.00 each six months, in part payment for the notes you are now holding.
At any rate, we are bending every effort to take care of your notes, and we thank you for your consideration, and we trust that you will find time to write a story especially for us, as we are in need of good material.
