Preston, Michael J. 1976. "Chain letters." Tennessee Folklore Society Bulletin. Vol. 42. Preston's fourth example. "Kelly White" written at top (collector?). Photocopy of typed letter - all upper case. Keystrokes preserved.
The maximum possible return calculated in the letter is incorrect. It would be 5*25^5 = 5* 9,765,625 = $48,828,125. The tabulated calculations make little sense - for example "1 x 25 = 25 x 5". Perhaps an earlier version of the letter asks for only five copies.
