Dear Governor:
     Like most men of affairs, you prefer your books to be after the manner of this one — that's my belief, anyway. On a train by day, or abed by night, you will read "Money to Burn" and immediately forget it — which is as is should be, for then you can profitably reread it a year hence — but I'm certain it will entertain you while you are reading it. If it gives you the realization of good fights on strange islands in tropic seas, if it stirs you with the sense of its hairbreadth escapes, if its mystery "keeps you guessing" and inveigles you past your proper railroad station, or runs up the house electric-light bill by holding you tight until morning, then it is the sort of book that I have planned it to be. I am betting that it will accomplish such feats, and so I am dedicating it to you.

Your affectionate, R. W. K., December 7, 1923
