A Counterfeiter's Letters

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  24 July 2012

Extract

Letters asking persons to become agents for a novel device or a patent medicine, although grossly exaggerating the qualities of the advertised product, are not unusual; but when a counterfeiter pens a letter to secure an agent for the distribution of illicit dollars, it is indeed a curiosity. Two such extraordinary letters may be found in the files of the Society.
