This chain was started in the hope of bringing prosperity to
you.  Within three days make five copies of this letter, leaving
 off the top name and address and adding your name and address
at the bottom of the list and mail to five friends to whom you
wish prosperity to come.

In omitting the top name, send that person twenty-five cents (25¢)
wrapped in paper as a charity donation.

In turn as your name leaves the top you should receive 15,625
letters with donations amounting to $3,906.25.

Note- Is this worth a quarter to you?

Have the faith your friends had and this chain will not be broken.

Not-  If you are unwilling to carry out this work, please return
this letter to the last name on the list so this chain will not be
broken.

Follow instructions and watch the quarters roll in.

Typed letter. Keystrokes preserved.  Given by Jim Fisher, Charleston, S.C.  to D. VanArsdale.

This was one of 13 items from a 1935 Atlantic Coast Line railroad file, the "ACL hoard." These are designated by "rr" after the date in the archive filename.
