This Chain comes from Venezuola, was written
by Sir Antnio de Gardi, a missionary from
S. America. Since this chain must make
a tour of the world. You must make 20 copies
in addition to this one and send it to
Aquantances and after a few days you
will get a surprise. This is true, even
if you are superstitious. Make note of the
following. Gustantins Dios received the chain
in 1973. He asked his sectetary to make 20
copies and send them a few days
later he won the lottery of $2 million
in his country. For no reason
whatsoever should the chain be broken.

                       May the Lord Bless You

Handwritten letter. Sent to VanArsdale by Pauline Pratt of Sherman, Texas on Oct. 24, 1978 in response to an advertisement in the Star. Said to be a "Chain Pray letter" received "last summer." Possible confusion on dates. Also why are 7 names numbered after Pauline's? Sic "Venezuola", "aquantances", "sectetary". Lines preserved.
