Mr. Kennelworth, I want to help you and show my appreciation for all
your kindness to me. I would like to help you make back the money
that you lost in the big slump in stocks in the Fall of 1919, and
believe that if you will buy some July or October cotton right now,
and hold it, you will make a lot of money. To show your faith in me,
buy at least 100 bales. Then along about the 5th of April, we will
have a lot of big profits made and can buy some wheat and corn as I
figure that wheat and corn are going to start up the early part of
April and advance twenty-five to thirty cents per bushel. Haven't you
faith enough in me and faith enough in the Bible to risk a few hundred
dollars and make back all the money you have lost? Of course you don't
need it, Mr. Kennelworth, but it would make me very happy to see you
make some money, anyway.
Sincerely,
Robert.
After reading over Robert's letters and explanation of the cycles, Mr.
Kennelworth answered:
February 1, 1927.
My dear Robert:
Your amazing letter and forecast of the future cycles, received. I
am surprised to find one so young possessed of so much knowledge. It
shows that you are a deep student and have been searching for the
hidden mysteries. You will receive your reward.
I have faith in the Bible and in you, Robert. In 1919, I followed tips
and lost a lot of money. Now I must have enough faith in you to risk a
little money on your predictions, based on the Bible, so I telegraphed
my brokers in New York today and bought 500 bales of July cotton at
13.70. If it goes up, I am going to hold it and the money I make on
it, I am going to give to you and Marie when you are married as a
wedding present, or if you need the money to promote your invention, I
will let you have it to use for that purpose.
Please keep me posted on your studies and on your new discoveries.
Always feel free to come and talk your matters over with me. I am
always interested in anything that you have to write or talk to me
about. Have faith in you and believe you are right about the great war
to come.
It is plain that the nations in Europe are rapidly getting ready for
war, and, of course, it will be with airplanes. While I hate to think
the United States will again be called into war, at the same time I
realize that all of the foreign countries are jealous of us, because
we have such enormous gold supply and have grown so prosperous. The
United States is now the banker of the world, and while it was no
fault of ours that the great World War occurred, which resulted to our
benefit by transfer of gold from other nations to us, at the same time
they are jealous and have a real hatred for America.
