' To Whom It
May Coecem
I, Elaine Dodge, daughter of Mr. Taylor Dodge, need
help and protection.
Where can I get it? j
I do not care so, much for myself, as for my father,
who has been threatened violently and criminally, by an
unseen and unknown enemy.
You have seen it, haven't you? You've seen how
they are playing with me.
Such methods as they have resorted to even using
the newspapers to defame me "requesting information
about Elaine Dodge." Flaunting my name before the
entire city, and endeavoring to throw it in an unenviable
light. It's base. It's unthinkable.
Yesterday, my father was warned by anonymous
persons to beware f orchis safety. This was sent through
the mail and they even had the audacity to say a copy
would appear in today's paper. They say they know of
my secrets of the exploits of Elaine. But, for the sake
of my good name and my father's, I beg you to believe
that since babyhood I have lived in close intimacy with
my circle of friends I am eighteen years now and' I
have no past. There are no exploits of Elaine. ,
But I am in mortal fear. I do not know which way j
to turn for assistance. I can pay for help and I can pay
liberally. Anything to rid ourselves of this oppressing
fear of possible harm.
Some of my friends have tried to reassure me by
telling me, it is all a joke. And I might even think that,
if those awful things had not happened to my father's
friends, Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Haxworth and Mr. Sherburne.
If there is any one who thinks he can help us, please
let me know.
If you will address me care of this paper, I will be
very grateful. This newspaper is authorized to .publish
any letters received, the space for which I will pay.
Believe me, Sincerely yours,
ELAINE DODGE
