Brewster's Millions

"I don't like New York. Never did. Am going back to Butte to-night. Out
there we have real skyscrapers and they are not built of brick. They
are two or three miles high and they have gold in 'em. There is real
grass in the lowlands and we have valleys that make Central Park look
like a half inch of nothing. Probably you and Mrs. Brewster were going
to take a wedding trip, so why not go west with me in my car? We start
at 7:45 P.M. and I won't bother you. Then you can take it anywhere you
like.
"Sincerely yours,
"SWEARENGEN JONES.
"P.S. I forgot to say there is no such man as Golden. I bought your
mines and ranches with my own money. You may buy them back at the same
figures. I'd advise you to do it. They'll be worth twice as much in a
year. I hope you'll forgive the whims of an old man who has liked you
from the start.
J."
