I handed the letter back to Tom. “Does that make Mr. Pendleton a crook?” I asked.

“I’ll need the answer to my other letter before I can convince Papa or anyone of that,” Tom said.

The other letter arrived on Monday. It was from the State Board of Agriculture and read:

Dear Mr. Fitzgerald:

Our department has made a chemical analysis of the alkali soil you sent to us. The soil is unsuitable for the following reasons. There is not enough sodium hydroxide present to profitably manufacture lye or hard soap. There is not enough potassium hydroxide present to profitably manufacture soft soap. There is not enough magnesium sulfate present to profitably manufacture epsom salts. In short, this is a very poor grade of alkali soil for commercial purposes.

Yours truly

Herbert Garrison
