Message fragment hints at praise and self mastery references
A fragmentary note mentions human nature and praise as a form of suggestion and references "Self Mastery" Therapeutics. It invites meeting at the station Tuesday evening and signs off with cordialities, mentioning Miss Minto and a late hour. The tone is informal and garbled with stray phrases about guaranteed safety and a Texas Motor Company.
