Luck chain letter. Good luck type, plus preamble. "Some
smart fellow..." Sixty name list - some names given. US, 1925.

that I am afraid if I do not go along with it I shall lose an eye or car

Copy this and send it to nine people you wish good luck. The chain
was started by an American officer and should go around the world three times.
Do not break the chain for whoever does this will have bad luck. Do it within
24 hours and count nine days and you will have great luck
With success to you: let's go smiling through 1925.
