TWO LETTERS AND A DEDICATION

Most Books have to have an Excuse by some
one for the Author, but this is the only Book ever
written that has to have an Alibi for the Title, too.
About 4 years ago, out in California, I was writing
sayings for the Screen and I called it the Illiterate
Digest. Well one day up bobs the following letter
from this N. Y. Lawyer. It and the answer are
absolutely just as they were exchanged at that time.

Will Rogers, Esq.,
