Mason City

Came a card marked Mason City

From my forwarder.

Shut the door, don't let my dad see;

Read aloud dear sir:

Understanding you account an upright gent-

lemen Aetna Life agreed and lent.

By the way, my fee is 2.6 percent.

Write again the Riceville widow

SASE.

I would guess they'll be turned out though

I'll still make my plea:

If the Dunlay heirs cannot be seen to care,

Then the Banker's Trust will surely think it fair

To not give extensions, as they musn't dare.

Write Des Moines on several matters

And I near anoint,

Ladle thick the pleasant flatters,

And then comes the point;

Mr. Nelson wouldn't like to hear it said

As he's too proud, so I do it in his stead:

He shall need an extension
