But anyway, the fellow who's a good friend of mine, says that maybe you'll send a letter right away as quick as you can and say that that money belongs to you.

So will you please do that?
I send you a stamped envelope so you'll be sure to do it.
Maybe a big fellow that has had a lot of adventures like you, and nearly lost his life a lot of times and did other dandy things, wouldn't think it was so much to save a fellow from drowning.

But anyway, there's a medal called the gold cross that we have, and only a fellow can win it that has saved somebody's life.

Maybe it isn't as much as the Distinguished Service Cross or that French Cross either, but anyway, its a big honor, that's sure, and we want Skinny to get it.
So will you please answer this letter right away?
Maybe you won't remember, because you have so many adventures, but I'm the fellow you met on the house-boat.

So please answer so we will get it before next Wednesday.
