Quoting Folk-Lore from Adams County, Illinois,
by Harry M. Hyatt (p. 420): "During the latter part of 1933 a 'chain letter'
fad appeared. The following specimen is self explanatory, and is given
exactly as written, but the names of two cities and of two persons have
been omitted to prevent identification." Some reformatting here. Was 33-11.
