[ I was instructed to copy the names, omitting the first and adding
my own.]
[I was to copy the rest of the letter and send the copies, within
24 hours, to five people I wished to see prosper.]
[The chain was started by an American colonel during
the war and had already circled the globe five times.]
I. M. Stanfield received 32,000 pounds (sterling) nine days
after receiving.
Mrs. Anderson got 7,000 pounds.
Mrs. Holmes broke the chain and lost all she possessed.
[The letter brought prosperity nine days after it was received.]

Found using newspapers.com. Earliest known example of title: "Prosperity
Club". Possibly a Hyatt variation, but the contents of the list are not
specified, and circumnavigation is retained. It is not known if the Send-a-Dime
letter title "Prosperity Club" was copied from some Prosperity letter like
the above. English Send-a-Dime letters also had copy quota five instead of
six and for US Send-a-Dime. See Winnipeg Tribune, Dec. 5, 1934
for more on Prosperity Club.
