to Murray, Februrary 1949 -- "return my two dollars"

Arthur Thebus had attended Murray's parents' church before moving to St. Louis. I don't know if he ever got his money back. 


St. Louis, Mo. 

Mr. & Mrs. Murray Morgan.

One day in December 1948 I sent you two One Dollar bills for your first book. As I never received it I wrote to your father and he said your book Dixie Raider was $4 but that he would see that you would return my two dollars. 

I had no idea that you would ask $4 for a book you wrote and I sure hope it Must Be Very Good but I would never pay $4.

So I am asking you to be good enough to return my two dollars. 

Arthur August Thebus
